Greetings, I keep hearing we’re supposed to have a mild winter. Then, I’ll talk to someone else and they say we’re supposed to have a fierce winter this year. Maybe it will end up being in between, since we already had some snow – then it all melted! Whatever happens, we know we’ll be having […]
Greetings, This time of year gets so busy! I made time to stop by the H.E.R.O. Committee’s Turkey Dinner drive-thru giveaway on the 18th. I heard the dinners were delicious. They had turkey and all the fixings. Even though they were prepared and increased their number from last year, they still ran out within twenty-five […]
Greetings, I hope all of our kids in our communities were able to get out and enjoy some of the many Harvest and Halloween celebrations that were put on by various departments and organizations. I managed to stop by the H.E.R.O. Trunk or Treat event and hand out some treats. The weather that night was […]

Greetings, Its official, the cooler temperatures indicate we’re heading into fall. Our days are gradually getting shorter and our nights getting longer. Our youth should all be back in school by now, as we continue to navigate around this COVID pandemic. I know these times have not been easy, but I hope they can put […]
Greetings, Many children in our communities will be going back to school soon. For some, it will be for the first time since COVID-19 disrupted the world. It will be a time of adjustment for all. I am amazed at how resilient young people are. They have the uncanny ability to adapt much quicker than […]
Greetings, I knew our nice summer weather was coming! It looks like we’ll be getting an opportunity to work on our tans for the next couple of weeks. If you find you have the time, please don’t forget to check in on the elders in our community. After spending last summer, practically in complete isolation […]

I hope our youth are taking full advantage of these opportunities to learn new things, participate in some physical activity and socialize. In comparison to last summer, I know this summer will be very enjoyable – just to be able to gather […]
