NOVEMBER IS NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH! This is a time to celebrate the rich histories, diverse cultures and important contributions of our nation's first people! We have teamed up with Adopt-A-Native-Elder and are raising funds to continue to sponsor a Native Elder on the Navajo Reservation. A donation box will be located at the Community Center. Adopt-A-Native-Elder (A.N.E.) serves to help reduce extreme poverty and hardship facing traditional Elders living on the Navajo Reservation. A.N.E. is a trusted humanitarian organization focused on delivering food, medical supplies, firewood and other forms of Elder support. Respecting the tradition and dignity of Navajo Elders, we create relationships and honor and serve the Elders. www.anelder.org
