Osiyo,
We are looking forward to meeting all of you at our gathering on July 16th in
Centralia, WA. More news will be sent out about it the first week of June with an
address to the park we are intending to meet at. It will be a potluck gathering. It will
be nice to visit and share everyone’s great cooking. At the meeting , it will also be
a great time for members to bring up ideas about where they would like to see us
grow as a Town. Something else we need to think about is that we can do one fund
raiser a year under our Tax clause, so we may want to decide what kind of fund
raiser we want to do and where.
We are going to have a Town Council meeting On June 4th. I encourage you to
come if you can. Everyone has a voice.

Osiyo,
Our next Town Council meeting will be at Bear Teacher's house. The address is
1494 Beers-Humbird Rd., Sagle, ID. 83860. Please use Map quest on the Internet
to get an exact map it will take you straight to Bear Teacher and Gabe’s doorstep.
We will be going over old business, such as electing a Town Council Chairman. We
will also be bringing up new business, such as nominating someone for Treasurer.
It has also been wondered would you all like to have a potluck whenever we have
Town Council meetings?

“How we got Spanish Moss”
In the long ago time there was a young woman and a young warrior that were
lovers and planning to marry. He was a great warrior and a fine young man. She
was very beautiful with very long black hair. Before they could be married he had to
leave with the other young men to defend the tribes hunting territory. She waited
and waited for his return. Finally one of the returning young men told her that he
had been wounded and he had sent the young men home that he would follow.
She decided to go and search for him. She told her family of her plans and that
wherever she traveled she would leave a lock of her hair in the trees as a sign to
him and her family that she was still searching for him. This she did. As she grew
older the hair she left in the forests and swamps turned gray, as did her own hair on
her head. She searched throughout our lands. From now the Carolinas and
Tennessee to Alabama, Georgia , Mississippi, and Florida to the Gulf Coast into
Texas, Lower Oklahoma, Southern Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana. Finally she
stopped her search! Did she find him? Her hair still reminds us of her dedication.
This story was told to me by my grandmother.
