Dear Smoke Signals, I would just like to give thanks for having the Eugene Satellite Office available to us out here. I have found a great support system here, a sense of serenity and a huge positive influence in my life. I have been going through a huge crisis in my life, but have been finding direction, support and learning more about my culture all at the same time. I never knew what I was missing not being involved. I would like to personally thank Jon Darcy-Chantell and Courtney Faye Rose. They are the glue that holds this place together. They are always putting themselves out there for every Tribal member that walks through the doors. Jon is sincere and cares for each and every Tribal members. He listens to my personal issues and tried to help me find real solutions to very big problems. They try to point out anything the Tribe has available to its people. I'm grateful for someone knowledgeable and caring as people like Jon are. He really cares about every one of our people. He does a great job here. Thank you for choosing someone like him to lead us and make things better.
