URGENT CALL FOR HOLIDAY HELP FOR SANTEE SIOUX TRIBE

Send check to:" Tribal Relief Fund" c/o Mr. Roger Meyer, Casino Morongo Accounting Department, 49750 Seminole Drive, Cabazon, CA 92230. 

All monies collected will be used to purchase food and necessities through local stores or to be shipped to the tribe. Here is the request list they sent us that we are using as our guide:
 
FOR ELDERS (79 Tribal Elders) : Turkeys, hams, food baskets, winter coats, gloves
 
FOR YOUNG CHILDREN (540 Children): Apples, oranges, gloves, winter coats and candy
 
FOR THEIR TEENS (121 Teens): Gloves, stocking caps, winter coats
 
It gets bitterly cold in Nebraska and so warm coats, blankets, sweaters, gloves will be especially precious. We are coordinating a central effort so as to ensure minimal duplication. If you have any questions, you can call Damon Sandoval at 909-849-4697 or Waltona Manion at 800-937-7692.
 
All tribes who send contributions will be listed in a summary we are sending to the Santee Sioux and we will provide the names of donating tribes and individuals to the media and for posting on Victor Rocha’s website www.pechanga.net. 
 
Thank you in advance for your generosity to a tribe who will be deeply grateful for your assistance. And this comes with our best wishes for a happy holiday season you will have made better for Santee Sioux tribal families.
 
With sincere appreciation,
