bcrc-ad-for-blog_edited-1Hello Folks:

Lona Burns, public relations director for the Blackfeet Constitutional Reform Committeesent me a notification for an address change for the Oct. 17 meeting out on the West Coast. To be specific, the BCRC changed the upcoming  meeting previously scheduled for Tacoma. Scrap that place and take note.

The meeting is now scheduled for this location:

 Java Stop

8914 Aurora Ave.

North Seattle Wash. 98103

The meeting is being held to give Blackfeet tribal citizens out on the coast a chance to participate in the Blackfeet Constitution reform process. See the BCRC Web site for more information about the process. And see the press release for more details about this landmark reform that seeks to strengthen the Blackfeet Nations governance document. The revision promises to help build the nation, doing so with grassroots guidance and the voice of the people.

Be sure to attend the meeting and share the new meeting date with your relatives.

Thanks.

Jodi Rave
