The Chickasaw Community Councils of Central and South Texas met jointly on April 13, 2008 to enjoy a potluck dinner.

The highlight was to hear three of the Chickasaw Legislators talk about what they feel are their roles in the Chickasaw Nation and to answer the questions of the At-Large Chickasaws gathered. It was an opportunity for the citizens to hear the legislators first hand and to speak to them on a one-on-one basis.

The Central Council also announced that drum making classes taught by Charles Holland, a Chickasaw citizen and member of the Central Council, will be starting in late May.

A fundraising raffle of a queen-sized Pendleton Indian blanket was concluded with the winning ticket purchased by Melissa Baldwin, a Chickasaw citizen from the Fort Worth area. The Central Council is now holding a raffle for a custom cue from Altas Billiards. The drawing will be held at the next joint council meeting in July.
