Dear Smoke Signals,
We would like to thank all family, friends and neighbors for coming to our
Annual BBQ. It was the best we ever had.

Dear Smoke Signals,
My family and friends strongly believe that the Winterhawks sponsorship was
a huge success. Watching the other Tribal families sitting together, getting
recognition for being there and having a great time with their children was en
couraging. Having the Tribal logo illuminating through the ice was beautiful
and made us feel proud to be there. Many games we heard comments from non
Tribal fans that they were happy to see Grand Ronde's relationship with the
Winterhawks. On Tribal game nights, we were seeing up to 9,000 fans talking
in all the excitement. The exposure the Winterhawks organization and the Tribe
created was a positive one and what a great opportunity to expand into Portland's
market. If the Tribe is not planning on continuing the sponsorship of the
Winterhawks, we feel this would be a mistake. The ones that enjoyed the hockey
experience and want it to continue, please let your voice be heard.
Sincerely,
Heidi Hardin
