Margie and I were in Washington, DC for a week in May. I saw a number of congressmen, different members of
staff and took lobbyists out to lunch and dinner. All know who we are, I passed out business cards, but they
cannot do much unless we get a large group to pass a bill. The lobbyists, many know me personally, would like
to help, but they work for money like the rest of us. People it does take money to do any business in
Washington, DC. That’s where most of our money goes, and when we come to town, they want us to spend
more of our own money. Ostalanvlvi ( we, brothers and sisters) must keep our tribe together for the benefit of
our future descendants. I’ll keep trying. Everyone write to Governor, Rick Perry, Capitol Station, Austin, Texas,
and request that he recognize us.

We are starting to build the Northwestern Town. Soon we will have a council of seven and they will be meeting
once a month to plan committees and gatherings. If you are interested in being on the council please contact me
so we can meet and go over the expectations of the position.
This is a non profit organization so everything will come to pass as we can afford to do it. Newsletters will come
out quarterly. If you have an email address and prefer to be in touch with us that way, please contact me, and
we will add you to our online mailing list.
In the coming years I would like to meet with as many of you as possible. If we can afford to, as a group, I would
like to have a small gathering. Maybe a potluck at a park in a centralized place would be a good idea. Let me
know what you think. Frank Perkins
