Hi, Everybody! And Happy Summer! I do believe it is here. In my family we have our family reunion the weekend closest to the 4th of July and many plans are getting locked into place for the very special occasion.

Institute planned for youth interested in science, medicine
Staff from the National Library of Medicine (NLM) visited in Ada this week for the planning of a summer workshop that will be hosted by the Chickasaw Nation.

When times are tough, utilize your tribal programs
Hello Everyone, I hope this letter finds you and your family well.These are challenging economictimes. Gasoline is fast approaching $4 per gallon. Diesel has exceeded the $4-per-gallon mark. Because food and most of the goods we need are transported by trucks, we are all suffering the effects of the increased fuel prices in more ways than just at the pump.

Tribal voter count has grown since new constitution
This year is moving by fast. For Chickasaw Citizens there are many events on the horizon. OnMay 31, there will be a gathering/ picnic in Santee, California for those of you who live in that area. The meeting will be hosted by Chickasaw West. Contact Sharon Tandy (818) 985-8392 or tandysharon@yahoo.com. I look forward to seeing many of you there.
