Subject: [tn-ind] Next Commission Meeting - Oct. 8, 2005


To all nominees to the Commission:

Congratulations on your elections by the Tennessee Native American Convention. It is wonderful to see new people getting involved with the political area of our community.

For the newly elected, the next TN Commission of Indian Affairs meeting is October 8, 2005 in Knoxville, Tennessee. The meeting will be held at the Tennessee Department of Enviroment and Conservation, 2700 Middlebrook Pike, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

This will be a good time for all of us to come to the commission meeting to see what is happening with the commission, see how the meeting is ran, and a way to show the community our commitment to the Commission by attending. This will also be a great opportunity to meet all Commissioners with whom some of us will be serving in the near future.

Hope to see everyone at the meeting.
Shelley Allen
