Thank to all of you for the support that you have given Full Circle; I would like to thank the members for my election as the President of Full Circle.

It's amazing what we can do as tribal members getting together to have dinner and recreational sports.
We recently had a salmon dinner, all our dinners are free, our members bring side dishes after we decide what we are cooking, and David Bean is the one who usually supplies the main dishes and the bouncy toys. And we had a baseball game and we had a good turn out — it's too bad that the Puyallup Tribal News doesn't make it to any of our events and we have had a lot, WE are tribal members coming together to bring a positive impact within our tribe, to structure our tribal government to work as a government and realize that it has several tribal members and not just a few select...

We have had several dinners, community events and gatherings—-we go out into the tribal people and ask them their concerns, WE invite everyone to our functions, regardless of who you are and who we are.

It's time for all of us to come together to bring about harmony, peace and prosperity to all our members.

We are getting ready to have our community meeting, so check out our web site for the date.

We hope you enjoy the summer and look forward to see you at our meetings. Maybe next time we could get John Weymer there to check it out and put it in the paper.............

There are still issues that need to be changes and we are updating our list, thankful we were able to elect two of our candidates into council James Miles and David Bean. We will post all statements as long as they are positive inputs and productive, we don't need the negativity, we live with it every day.

Our people, ancestors, sacrificed their livelihood for you to have what you have today, many went to jail, died and fell into depression to try to change the laws, federal guidelines and the united states governments. We did that so now lets go with what we have and set positive goals for our younger people, all of them.

As we go about everyday it is good to think about the future, about your children and the ones not yet born yet, to look at what we will give to them, what we will leave them and hopefully it will all be good...

So thank you for looking in on us and have a great day and a good summer! By the way we are looking at setting up camps for huckleberries and hunting so stay posted.

I would like to express our thanks to Mark, who set up the website, who took our pictures who made our posters————he has been there for us during our elections, meetings and dinners and video meetings and ourselves, and he is doing a history of our people. We honored him with a Pendleton Blanket because of his commitment to Full Circle and to the Indigenous Peoples of the world.

Thanks Mark!!!!!!!!!!!!
