Bozho (Hello),
Well, one month has passed since the year 2026 started. Have you started working on your New Year’s resolutions yet? I have an excuse. I can’t think of any. Good luck with your list.
The Citizen Potawatomi Nation’s Veterans Organization has begun to work on our New Year’s resolutions, and it looks like it is going to be quite a challenge. We will need to start early to get all of them completed. Our toughest challenge is getting our Eagle Staff completed — hopefully before this year’s Festival. And that is only one of our goals. I would list the other goals, but I would rather wait and see what gets done to list them.
We still need CPN veterans to attend our social meetings. Remember there are no dues and no obligations, your families are welcome, and a meal is provided. The meetings are on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. (or as soon as you can get there) in the Veterans Memorial Hall of the CPN Cultural Heritage Center in Shawnee, Oklahoma. I’ll list the meeting dates below:
Feb. 24 at 6 p.m.
March 24 at 6 p.m.
April 28 at 6 p.m.
May 26 at 6 p.m.
June 27, Saturday at 9 a.m. on the 2nd floor of the CPN Golf Club
July 28 at 6 p.m.
Aug. 25 at 6 p.m.
Sept. 22 at 6 p.m.
Oct. 27 at 6 p.m.
No meetings in November.
December date to be arranged.
We hope to see you at as many of the meetings and activities as you can make.
