Dear Smoke Signals, Thank you to our Tribal family and friends for your support and prayers in the loss of our mother, grandmother, great grandmother, auntie, sister, and friend Eleanor Kimsey. Your, kindness and generosity are greatly appreciated. Again, we thank you from our hearts. Merry Christmas to you all. The Kimsey Family To Tribal Council and extended family, I wish to express my heartfelt thanks and deepest appreciation for the generosity shown to me on the death of my beloved brother and uncle Joseph D. Candito. He was a member for such a short time but was so elated when he was accepted. We are grateful for the help we received at this sorrowful time. Everyone we spoke to on the phone was helpful and courteous. Thank you so much. The family of Joseph Dave Candito Carmilla Faggani, Roll 5548 Dear Smoke Signals, I am very glad that there is a satellite office here in Eugene. I knew that there was one out here when I lived in Grand Ronde, but I didn't know what to expect. I was able to work through the Siletz WEX Program, but I wish there was a full-time position so I could have a permanent job. Everyone I've met through the office has been very friendly to me and my family. It's been good to have a place to fit right into when I moved to Eugene. I wish that we could be in the service area and that we could expand the building. There also needs to be more employee opportunities out here because I really wanted to work for the Tribe. Janell Lara, Roll 2148 Dear Smoke Signals, The Eugene Satellite Office is a warm and educational environment. The staff is friendly and able to answer questions from anyone who comes in or calls. If they can't answer immediately, they will call you back as soon as they have the information or direct you to someone at the main Tribal Offices in Grand Ronde who can help you. Tribal Elder Gloria Sundahl, Roll 2081 Dear Smoke Signals, The Eugene Satellite Office has been beneficial in many aspects. There is a definite connection felt with the Grand Ronde Tribe. Many of our people who access the satellite office expanded their knowledge of how's who, more Tribal friends, brothers and sisters. Every program the Tribe offers or encourages is on file or displayed in the lobby. It is staffed with very cordial and dedicated leaders. There are members that get to know more people and become closer friends. There are abundant activities and get togethers at the office. There are year round trips planned for members. The satellite office is definitely here for the good and use for our members. It is doing well and I think it can do better with the continued support of the Grand Ronde Tribe. John Darcy, Sr. Roll 1767 All Tribal Offices will be closed on Monday, January 15 in obser vance of Martin Luther King Day.
