Twitter: CTGRgov Facebook: www.facebook.com/SmokeSignalsCTGR/ Letters Dear Smoke Signals: I want to say a big thank you to all who supported my return to Tribal Council. It has always been a pleasure to work on behalf of our Tribal members and dedicated staff who contribute so much of their time and talents to making us the organization we are today. Also, thanks to all those who ran this year for keeping it genuinely one of the nicest campaigns that I have seen in a long time. We are truly blessed by God and blessed by good people! Much love.
