Events: Time to Register for Next Year !
|
|
The best thing you can do before you head out on vacation this summer is register for next year. By registering early, you help the Nation Chiefs plan out the campouts. They use these registration numbers to fit all the tribes in the various camps. Late registrations make it more likely we'll have tribes switching camps at the last minute - which none of us likes.
How about a goal to register before July 1st? Can you do that and encourage the rest of your tribe to do the same?
Thanks for your help!

Annual Giving Tree Fundraising Effort
|
|
Each summer the Greater LaGrange YMCA hosts 10 weeks of summer camp. About 30% of the kids in the program come from homes that cannot afford to pay for summer day care. These are not kids from the inner city; these are kids from right here in our community! The Prairie Trail Federation is again sponsoring our annual Giving Tree program to raise money for this very worthwhile cause. This is a great Civic Activity for your tribe and it will really make a lasting impact on our community. Click on the link for more information on the Giving Tree and the YMCA’s summer camp program it supports.

Recently, the PTF Web Weavers have been asked "Where's My Email Blast?".
We have decided there could be several reasons why you did not get a blast for an event or outing.
The most common are as follows:
- Due to it being a "Bulk" mail program it may be in your Spam Folder - Adding the following email address to your address book will help alleviate this problem. yigp.announce-bounces@yigp.org (Do not send emails to this address as it is not monitored)
- Do we have your correct email address? Just in case we have added a button on the left margin of our website to Subscribe, Un-subscribe or change your existing email address. Please feel free to use the Email List Button subscribe yourself for future email blasts.

Bulletin: Where can I get one of those great tribal VESTS?
|
|
While attending one of the PTF's Pow Wows, the above question came up.
The answer is simple. It is a business called "The Patch Store" and by clicking HERE you will find a printable order form for your tribal vests. You can also order on line by going directly to the Patch Stores web site and click on the tab "VESTS" Any questions, here is another link to the Patch Stores web site.
A word from a wise old chief - Order your Childs vest bigger than you would normally .. It may be too big on them in Kindergarten or 1st grade, but before you know it they will be in 4th or 5th grade and have run out of room for those coveted patches.
