Bozho (Hello),
October is here so soon. This is a busy time for the Citizen Potawatomi Nation Veterans Organization. We have a lot of growing in the works. We are now set up to video our meetings so they can be viewed by CPN veterans who are unable to attend our meetings in person. You can view the meetings in real time or at your convenience. We will be having guest speakers to keep our veterans informed about veteran issues and be able to communicate with the group in real time. We are looking forward to this new meeting form. Chris Lenggenhager is coordinator for this and many other projects. Migwetch (Thank you), Chris.
October is the month of our biggest parade of the year. The Wewoka Sorghum Festival is on Saturday, Oct. 25. All CPN veterans and their families are invited to join us on our CPN Veteran parade trailer. Bring your lawn chair, if you have one, or we will have extras if you don’t, and join us in the biggest and most fun parade of the year. You won’t regret it. The parade begins at 10 a.m., but they ask that we line up at 8:45 a.m. But you get to join us any time before 9:50 a.m. The parade will begin at the Seminole Nation Museum on Wewoka Avenue. We hope to see you there.
Remember our monthly meetings are on the fourth Tuesday of each month at the CPN Cultural Heritage Center’s Veterans’ Memorial Hall at 6 p.m. (or as soon as you can get there). A meal is provided. This month’s meeting is Tuesday, Oct. 28. You do not have to be a member to attend; we welcome all CPN veterans and their families.
