Yo Wiksas!
grow a human ;) I am sure all you moms can relate.
Well, it’s crunch time. I will be starting Maternity leave soon. That means I will be taking a year off from work to be have my baby and take care of him until this time next year. This does not mean I am leaving. It just means I am allowed allow to take a break to be with my newborn baby. As many of you may already know, we had a replacement set up for the time I will be taking off. Unfortunately for us, that person is no longer taking over. She had another opportunity come up. But we are happy py for her and wish her well on her career path she is taking. The Elder’s Council will be meeting more this month to come up with a plan for my replacement. Please stay tuned for more updates. TRI-BAND ELDER’S THANKSGIVING LUNCHEON WEDNESDAY OCT.11/17 @ 12PM WAKAS HALL
Elder’s Health & Safety Program: What is it? It is a Program that was created by Leslie Walkus. Leslie had done a proposal to our GNN Trust for a grant. The Community voted and approved the funds for the new Program. Who is it for? It is for all Elder’s on the Gwa’sala Gwa’sala‘Nakwaxda’xw Elder’s List. That original list was given to me by late Bunny Jackson. Since I started in 2010 as the Elder’s Coordinator, I have been adding the newly become elders to this list: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
The Elder’s will more than likely join in on the Community Halloween activities this year. My mobility, strength and energy capacity is not what it normally is, due to my pregnancy. It takes a lot out of you to
