Workshop facilitators for micro-
enterprise business classes wanted
MERIT is a microenterprise program that provides business training and
one-on-one business counseling to residents of Marion, Polk and Yamhill
counties who are in the process of starting their own businesses.
A microenterprise is defined as a very small (or micro-) business, having
fewer than five employees (usually a single self-employed person or fam-
ily), minimal capital needs, and whose owner has some social, cultural,
economic or physical barrier to overcome that prevents access to traditional
business training and counseling resources.
We are looking for individuals who possess the best practices in workshop
facilitation, instruction and classroom management to facilitate discussion
and student information exchange on the topic of business development.
Our goal is to create a safe, interactive, non-critical learning environment
that encourages self-reflection and learning. We are looking for individuals
who will build trust with each student to ensure they become completely
engaged in the course to the best of their ability.
Application Instructions: Please send your resume and a bio to the
MERIT Program manager Mona Edwards at medwar44@chemeketa.

Ceremonial Hunt update
I hope everyone had a great holiday season and Happy New Year.
We need to update committee member’s phone numbers and e-mail
addresses. We will be issuing tags for a one-month period this year
so everyone gets a chance to hunt. If you are unable to hunt please
let us know so we can take you off the committee. I look forward to
a productive year and invite all members to come to our meeting at
the Natural Resources building at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 7. If you
have questions or know someone who would like to volunteer to be
a committee member, they can call Chairperson Marline Groshong
at 503-474-7000. n

Elementary? Maybe for Sherlock Holmes, but
how will you fare when you try to solve a
Grand Ronde Low-Income
Home Energy Assistance Program
Offered through the
captivating, original murder mystery in the
tradition of the master detective?
Youth Education Department for
6th-12th Grade Students

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.
