If you have any ideas of what you would like to see your tribe do or be, please stop by a meeting and share your thoughts and ideas. Your new council has lots of great ideas and seem determined to follow through with them. Other councilmen/women are Elder Windsor “Walks With Out Sound” Meyer, Elder Steve “Morning Crow” Abbott, Eva “White Raven” Bartrum, Brenda “Morning Marsh Woman” Abbott. Your Secretary is Katie “Dancing Dove” Lipsius. Your Vice-chairman is Jerry “Gentle Bear” Hughes. Let me introduce you to your new council. The tribe had an election for a new council in 2018. Right now, since there is no mortgage and our donations have been private, we can do whatever we want to the building. Once government money is used, there will be guidelines to follow. Though there is plenty of grant money available, we would like to keep everything private. So far, all our money has come from private donations. From that we will move forward with other things. Once the roof is replaced, the rotten wood will be replaced and the installation of electricity will be completed. The rotten spot was caused by a leaky roof. The electricity was two-thirds complete when it was discovered a rotten spot of wood on the Greenbrier side of the building. We are having electricity installed in the long house. Thank you, Mann & Mann Grant Writing Services. We are just over our halfway mark in our fundraising for a new roof on the long house. How exciting and what an accomplishment!Ī grant writer from Fruitland, MD has graciously helped us get funding. The long house is now on the Historic Registry at the state and national levels. There were interviews conducted, phone calls made, and lots of research, effort and patience. In June 2018, the long house was listed on the National Registry of Historic Landmarks. Attached is a copy of our meeting schedule. Everyone is welcome and we hope to see you soon. If there is anything that is restricted to the council only, a closed session will be called to order at the end of the regular meeting or at a later date. They are not exclusively “Council” meetings. Our meetings are open to the public and any tribe member. Thank you Hyatt and Holly for facilitating this arrangement. The Hyatt Regency-Chesapeake, Cambridge, MD has been most gracious in allowing us to use a training room to hold our meetings. We hold our tribal meetings every other Thursday. We have had a lot of exciting things happening. However, I would like to share with you some of the goings-on with the tribe. So I know it will not happen before festival.
#Rottenwood creek band full
Our festival planning is in full swing right now. My intention is to bring Turtle Tracks back. I have been extremely busy and that was one of the things I let slide. My apologies to each and every one of you for not providing it to you. I am flattered our publication means so much too so many people.

I have had several people inquire about Turtle Tracks.
#Rottenwood creek band update
I hope this update finds everyone happy, healthy and safe.
