Drum Beats...A Message from your Longhouse ChiefHappy New Year, Big Braves and Princesses! Well......WE DID IT!!! We got the word out there, helped people understand its importance, got some great participation and delivered the Most Successful Wreath Sale this program has ever had!! My thanks goes out to each and every one of you Braves and Princesses whether you sold 1,3 10 or 50 wreaths for doing your part. Between us we grew sales from 816 wreaths last year to almost 1300 this year!!! I am literally blown away by that number and enormously proud of our program for what we accomplished here. Sure, we had some teething troubles on pick up day that led to some long lines in the office for some of you, and for that I apologize, but that's mainly because we KILLED our numbers and are problems that I promise we will fix for next year. Your Nation Chiefs have the specific totals for your Nations and/or tribes, so feel free to ask them if you didn't get a chance to see them already. This has brought us a huge amount of funds directly back into our program to help us develop and grow it and make it affordable for all, and will also allow us to make a fantastic donation to Camp AIM. We already have a group of Braves working on designing and building our new Nation Banners.......look for them around a campfire sometime this Spring! Hopefully by the time you read this you are registered and ready for the next campout. Dust off those sleds, dig out your cold weather gear, and prepare yourselves for a weekend at Kon-O-Kwee. PRAY FOR SNOW!! If you've never been to a Winter Camp then why not make this one your first? The weather brings yet another dimension to a fantastic weekend.....camp fires and Killer Hill awaits you! For all you budding boat builders out there don't forget that the Princess Cup is almost upon us. The kits are ready and will be available for purchase at either of the Campouts, or at any time after that directly from the Y. No need worry if you are not skilled in the workshop, we'll have "pre cut" kits available too and often it's the simple designs that surprise and delight. As always, any and all of you are encouraged to come and join our monthly Longhouse Meetings on the first Monday of every month. Come along and meet some old and new faces and bring your ideas and suggestions for helping us grow from strength to strength. Happy New year to you all and look forward to seeing you around a campfire soon!!! BraveHeart (Adam), Little Rose (Jaden), Morning Sunshine (Zoe) and Little Monkey (Ava) |
