Thank you Jackie and Dwayne for the use of your teepee and Donny and Cathy for setting it up. Thank you for all those who helped with the cooking. Thank you everyone who prayed for her. A special thank you to True, Promise and Mike. It was good to see the young people involved. Thank you to Social Services Manager Dave Fullerton and Health and Wellness's Business Office Manager Tresa Mercier for your help in getting a lift and scooter for Carmen. Thank you LaDonna for making the ceremony happen. Bless everyone, Marce & Sharon Norwest Dear Tribal Members: I want to express my thanks to all of you who supported me for Tribal Council. I appreciated and greatly enjoyed the opportunity to meet my fellow Tribal members and discuss the Tribal issues that are most im portant to them. Sincerely, Bernadine Shriver Dear Tribal Council: I wanted to take a minute and thank you for giving your membership voice in the recent ballot concerning Tribal Council members serving on the SMGI gaming board. That is a first for your non-local membership to have a voice in their government. It was huge of you to ask us what we thought and then say you would abide by what we decided. Giving us a voice was the greatest gift you could ever give to your people. Hopefully you will ask your membership for more advisory votes in the future. Rosemary Jameson Roll 883 Bay City, Mich.
