Grand Ronde Royalty
Royalty participants and their parent or sponsor must attend all required
events (powwows, parades, fundraisers, organizational meetings and others).
Absences can be prearranged with the Royalty Coordinator. Three unexcused
absences will result in disqualification from Royalty. Royalty participants are
expected to stay for the duration of the events. This includes helping set up
for events, such as meetings and parades, as well as dancing during Grand
Entry, InterTribals and staying until the flags are retired unless pre-approved
with the Royalty Coordinator. Participants are expected to speak in front
of large groups of people. Royalty participants must be willing and able to
dance. Remember: You are all part of a team and are expected to treat
yourselves, running mates and others with respect at all times.

"Adult Foster Care would like to say a big thank you to Tribal youth
Tabitha Shaver. Tabitha is a senior at Willamina High School and
for her senior project thi9 year she chose to coordinate activities
and events for our residents.
Throughout the year, Tabitha has come in to make crafts with
our Elders and help them with activities, such as bingo. Easter
weekend she worked really hard coordinating a barbecue and Easter
carnival event for the residents and their families. It was a huge
success and everyone had a great time. We really appreciate all of
her hard work and dedication to our Elders.
Thank you from all of us at Adult Foster Care.
