Elders Gathering

[Andre Cramblit]

The Northern California Indian Development Council is pleased to host the
22nd annual Elders Dinner to be held from noon-4 PM on November 15, 2003 at
Redwood Acres in Eureka, CA.  The event also features an Inter-Tribal
Gathering with California and Inter-Tribal dances throughout the day and
ends at 10 PM. There is no charge for entrance to the Gathering. The dinner
is free to all Elders (Age 55 & Over).  For those under 55 a $6.00 donation
for dinner tickets is requested.

Last year the Elders Dinner and Inter-Tribal Gathering was a great
success.  We returned to our usual time of holding the event in November
and were quite pleased with the turnout.  We served over 1200 meals with
600+ being given away to community Elders.  Overall attendance was in
excess of 3500 people and an honoring ceremony was also held to provide
gifts to ALL Elders in attendance.

This event is sponsored by The Northern California Indian Development
Council but relies on the assistance of community partners and volunteers
to help make the day a success.  Donations are needed to support this
effort. If you would like to make a monetary gift or volunteer please
contact Anna House at (707) 445-8451.  For more information or to download
the event Poster please see: http://www.ncidc.org/nwit2001.htm .  We would
like to encourage all local business and Tribes to help support this worthy
event.

Much Appreciation For Your Continued Support,



André Cramblit (Karuk)
