Elders update Hello everyone My heart goes out to the family, friends of Vivian Paul. Our community stands strong together in heart felt losses such as these. Mayaxala one another <3 A little update on what has been happening here with our Elders: I brought granny Sarah & Richard down to Courtenay for a check up appointment. She seems to be healing very well from laser treatment. I shall be taking her back down in two weeks times. We have had one or two Elder's Council meetings in the last little while. A few of those members were away so it may seem like we haven't had a meeting for quite some time now. Please be patient. We will resume back to normal next week.

We hope this excites you Elders! :D It will definitely be something to look forward to. I will be away Monday. So again, NO ELDER'S DAY :( Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. We will resume Monday November 17.

The Elder's Halloween party was held here at the Elder's Center Friday the day of Halloween. We only had about 6 or 7 Elders show up. But that's ok. We still had lots of fun. We dressed up, had a nice big spread of food, played games and the Elders won prizes.

I have been keeping up to date with accounting and book keeping for the time being. As well as helping when I can where I am needed with services and such. I have also been meeting and talking on the phone with the Elder's workers from Quatsino & Fort Rupert. We will be joining together with the other nations and having Tri-Band Elder's luncheons on a regular basis.

CHRISTMAS PLANS!!!!!! They are in progress! I need all of you Elders (60&up) to contact me if you would like to participate in the Elder's Christmas trip. Yes, I said trip. They will be going to Campbell River to do their very own Christmas shop. For those that won't be making it, I will shop for your gift for you while we are down there. We have aimed for December 5th to depart early in the morning by bus in case road conditions are bad & for safety of vehicles. It is better this way. We will only be bringing 1 emergency vehicle and that will be mine. We will return Saturday December 6th. Please be safe and have a great weekend everyone. Know that you are loved and you are worth it <3

Also a huge thank you to Johnson, Melissa & Chelsey for helping with the Halloween party. I couldn't have done it without you! My hats off to you all Silena George, Elder's Coordinator
