Dear fellow Tribal members, We have recently been enjoying two different websites where Grand Ronde Tribal members and their families can chat about vari ous issues. One site is called "Grand Ronde Rez News", which is also known as "The REZ" or "Rez News." This site was opened up in March of 2005. The other site is "GRAND RONDE ON LINE", which is commonly referred to as "GROL." This site was opened up in January of 2004, by Leroy Good, his wife, Mary Ellen, and their daughter, Andrea Knight. Both Leroy and Andrea are Grand Ronde Tribal members. Between the two websites mentioned, our 'main' involvement has been with GROL, even though we both have posted quite a bit on the Rez News. We would like to invite Grand Ronde Tribal members and their families to join us at GROL. You will find many, many items to interest you, such as open discussions of various issues concern ing our Tribe, photos, history, recipes, genealogy, news, a calen dar to post upcoming Tribal events and many other items. We believe you will find GROL quite informative and a website we can all be proud of. Please join us and many, many others at GROL, by e-mailing cenl5752centurytel.net . Pass the word that the members of our Grand Ronde Tribal family are invited to join GROL. We look forward to hearing from you.
