Oglala Commemoration Update

Hello Everyone,

As we reel from the bad news that came down from the parole board, I am speechless. We have to pick ourselves up again and fight the good fight for Leonard. I know how bad I felt, and just wanted to give up, but then I have to think I am not the one sitting in a cell, and giving up would just be one win for the opponents. We need to pick up and go on. Check in with the LP-DOC to see what their next set of plans will be.

2010 will be the 11th annual Oglala Commemoration instead of a welcome home celebration. Fund raising will begin soon for the event, with alot of beautiful items once again. We are still accepting auction item donation, just email me.

We will be on hand next weekend in Hillard, Ohio for the NAICCO - Labor Day Weekend Pow-wow.

It will be held

Franklin County Fairgrounds.
Hillard Ohio, all 3 days.

We will once again be holding our Pendleton Blanket Raffle, so please stop by and pick up some chances. We are looking for an individual or group to sponsor the Pendleton Blanket. Two were purchased at the Pendleton Store on our way home this year, They were $130 each. If interested please email me at oglala_commemoration@yahoo.com.

We will also be collecting school supplies for our 4th annual School Supply Drive for Oglala.

This year we were able to divide the supplies to children who attended the gathering in Oglala, as well as the Manderson School. School items can be dropped off at out booth at the Pow-wow. Along with other drop off points through out the year. Or they mail me mail.

As yahoo will be closing their free websites down in another month. I need some suggestion on where to go for another free site.

Give me a shout for any help listed above.
See you on Ohio.
