Greetings from We are aware that it has been several months since anyone has received a newsletter from Cherokee Nation West. The age old problem of a newsletter continues to be money. It is not only an expense to print; the cost of mailing has also risen. In an attempt to solve the problem of information dissemination without great expense, we ask our help in this novel plan! We all remember the old chain letter and yes, they were illegal because they promised to make you rich if you mailed out a few dollars. However, we ask help with a chain letter only in an effort to sent out a newsletter and ask for information. If each person receiving this letter (no matter who it comes from) would make 10 copies and mail them to people whose addresses you can find we will be able to communicate with everyone without Cherokee Nation West having to spend over $900.00 on each newsletter. That money can be put to other uses to benefit all of us. Also several hundred of the Newsletters were returned because of bad addresses. This just underscores the need for everyone to update their info with the tribal office. Please..... Everyone send a
list of all the members of your family (or anyone else in the Tribe),
their addresses, birthdates, new births, deaths, and e-mail addresses if
you have one; to the tribal office - Any Correspondence can be done by e-mail will save Cherokee Nation West money.

July 14th Meeting The Elders and Council met July 14th, after the Food Giveaway at the Pantry to discuss some business deals the Elders are working on. The Elders have been looking into purchasing a large building near Neosho to house the office, Pantry, Warehouse, and other endeavors. The Elders have been considering selling the old office building which is currently rented to the Hardware Store, and with those funds pay off debts and build some storage buildings on the Tribal Property on Highway 60. The Council discussed these matters and appointed a business committee to research the deals and report back to the Council under the current Constitution all business matters must be approved by the Council. Every member of Cherokee Nation West is encouraged to attend all Council meetings and express an opinion, There are several vacant seats on the Council and any tribal member interested should contact the office to apply. There are 3 vacancies on the Board of Elders since Roy Eads passed away in the fall of 2006. The Pantry is still serving the needy every month. As always, volunteers would be greatly appreciated. Pete Cauthon is driving the 10 ton Freezer truck for the Pantry and could use a break occasionally if we can find some more volunteers. The Tribal office is still receiving a good number of applications for membership. Please bear with us if your card has not reached you yet. We welcome all our new members and urge everyone to get involved in tribal matters. Now Please make 10 copies of this newsletter ... Mail them to any member you have an address for. Also, send current info on you and your family to the office. The The Tribal website is up and running and being improved and expanded weekly.
