Tribal youth attending conference
Tribal member Daniel Murray, 12, of Placerville, Calif., has been selected
to represent Herbert C. Green Middle School and the state of California at
the Junior National Young Leaders Conference being held this summer in
Washington, D.C.
Murray was nominated by teacher April Martin, who recognized him as an
outstanding individual who has achieved academic excellence and possesses
strong leadership potential.
On his trip to Washington, D.C, he will visit museums, monuments and
historic sites, as well as meet and learn from today's leaders and meet students
from all over the country.
Only fifth- and sixth-graders are selected for the conference.

Grand Ronde low-Income
Home Energy Assistance Program
The Grand Ronde Tribe is
operating its own Low-Income
Home Energy Assistance
Program (LIHEAP) to assist
Grand Ronde Tribal member
households with energy
payments (utility bills,
firewood, etc.), energy
emergencies and weatherization
(e.g. furnace repairs). Income
eligible households within Polk, Yamhill,
Marion, Washington, Multnomah and Clackamas counties with a
Grand Ronde Tribal member are eligible to apply. CTGR members in
these counties need to contact Grand Ronde to receive assistance
instead of from the community action agency in their area. Grand
Ronde's program enables more CTGR members to be served than
would otherwise have been possible.
If you are interested in obtaining services contact Social Services at
1-800-242-8196 for energy assistance and the Grand Ronde Tribal
Housing Authority at 503-879-2405 for weatherization. The Tribe's
LIHEAP program also serves all income eligible Indians on Grand
Ronde Reservation or trust land.
