Is it really happening already? Where did the time go? There
are no words to describe how truly honored and blessed we all
are to have seen you grow into such a beautiful, thoughtful and
kindhearted person, Kiana Brooke! You’re a shining star and we
couldn’t be more proud! Congrats, we love you very much!

Firewood Permits
Attention firewood permit holders! According to the National Inter-
agency Fire Center, Oregon is expected to have an “above normal fire
potential” beginning in June. With this forecast and an abundance of
fuel wood available, we are encouraging valid permit holders to fill the
issued permits as soon as reasonably possible to avoid a closure due to
fire season. For questions or to obtain a firewood permit, contact Natural
Resources at 503-879-2424 or visit www.grandronde.org/departments/
natural-resources/. As a reminder, firewood permits are issued to all
Grand Ronde Tribal members for personal use and may not exceed five
cords in a calendar year. n
