Bozho (Hello),
This year has started off with a few changes for our Citizen Potawatomi Veterans Organization. We are now holding our meetings and special events in the Citizen Potawatomi Nation’s Cultural Heritage Center in the Veterans’ Hall. In the new location, there is more room and memories of our veteran brothers, past and present. It’s a very fitting venue for our functions. Our meetings are still at the same time, 6 p.m. (or as soon as you can get there) on the fourth Tuesday of each month. This month, it will be on May 27. We hope to see you there. Families are welcome, and you don’t have to be a member of the organization to attend, just come and check us out. There is fellowship and pizza.
Our Color Guard has been very busy with presenting the colors at various functions in the area. It keeps the public reminded of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation’s interest in our community. We are working on obtaining an Eagle Staff for CPN Veterans Organization and we are learning the traditional way of creating this sacred symbol. All input is welcome.
Remember our meetings are being held at the CPN Cultural Heritage Center now in the Veterans Hall. See you there at 6 p.m., Tuesday, May 27.
