S moke S ignals AUGUST 15, 2015 Survey for Tribal members Tribal Council invites all Tribal members to participate in the 2015 Social and Economic Survey implemented in partnership with Portland State University. The survey provides valuable information that will be used to guide future decisions that benefit Tribal members. Tribal member input is critical and helps Tribal Council determine priorities, develop strategic plans, and develop grants and budgets for services that are important to you and your family. This year, the Social and Economic Survey and the Tribal Housing Survey are combined, so you will only be asked to complete one survey. The survey can be taken online at www.CTGRMemberSurvey.com or on paper by mail. An invitation with more details was mailed out to all Tribal members the week of June 15. Everyone is encouraged to complete the survey online as soon as possible to promote sustainability and increase your chance to win up to $1,500. If you complete the survey, you will be entered into a random drawing to win one of 15 cash prizes, including 10 $100 prizes, five $500 prizes and one grand prize of $1,500. n 5 ATTENTION ALL RESIDENTS WHO HAVE CTGR TELEPHONE SERVICE If you have an emergency and need to dial “911” you must first dial a “9” (9911).
