Bozho (Hello),
Happy New Year, everyone! Another year has come and gone, and a new one begins with 2026. It should be very exciting. The CPN Veterans Organization has a new system for our events and organization operations. With our new CPN Veterans Organization’s facilitator, Chris Lenggenhager, leading the way with a more efficient operating system, we should be able to reach more Citizen Potawatomi Nation veterans and have a more efficient working system. The Citizen Potawatomi Nation Veterans Organization’s Color Guard events and parades are lined up for the new year; we should be very busy. We are still inviting all CPN veterans to join us at our social meetings, with dinner included. Remember, there are no dues required to be a member of the organization, and families are welcome to attend.
Remember, our monthly 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 in the CPN Cultural Heritage Center in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Dinner is provided. Our meeting schedule is:
Jan. 27, Feb. 24, March 24, April 28 and May 26, 2026.
The June meeting will be on Saturday, June 27, on the second floor of the CPN Golf Club.
