Bozho (Hello),
The CPN Veterans Organization’s Color Guard has been very active during this new year, 2025. We have some new programs planned and our meeting location will be changed. We will announce the start of these upcoming changes at our April Veterans Organization meeting on Tuesday, April 22 at 6 p.m. (or as soon as you can get there). While our Color Guard was presenting the Colors at a luncheon meeting in the CPN Cultural Heritage Center, we were approached by Peter Kavourgias, collections manager, and Derra Pitts, event coordinator, to discuss having the Citizen Potawatomi Nation Veterans Organization meetings and Christmas dinner held in the Veterans Memorial Room of the Cultural Heritage Center. We were very pleased and excited. That is where the CPN Veterans Organization was born. We are returning home. We plan to have the details worked out by April’s veterans meeting. Please join us in this new and exciting venture.
Remember if you require a Colors presentation or Honor Guard attendance, you can contact our CPN Color Guard coordinator, Daniel Castaneda at 209-207-2317.
Remember, the Citizen Potawatomi Veterans Organization meets on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. (or as soon as you can get there). This month’s meeting will be on Tuesday, April 22 at the Cultural Heritage Center. We will have pizza, socializing and a fun time. Remember, you don’t have to be a member of the organization to attend our meetings, and you can bring your family. Hope to see you there.
