CRST Council April Session to be held in White Horse Community

The Cheyenne River Sioux Council  April 2015 session will be held in White Horse community.  The entire April Session the 7th-10th, 9:30 am Roll Call, Tuesday to Friday is scheduled to be held out there at the Brown Community Building. 

Next month in May the Council is to be held in Cherry Creek Community.

Council having community sessions has been an option since last year when the Council meetings were disrupted because of the mold in the Tribal Office.  see Click the post "Council on the Move"

Back in February of 2014, the Tribal Secretary had purchased the portable recording equipment.  So this makes it feasible to have Council wherever.

Since February 2014 the Council has been meeting at the Cheyenne River Motel conference room.

Chairman's Office did not officially notify the Council Officers but it was announced at the last Council Session.  Also a statement from the Chairman's Office was released via CRST Admin Announcements page Facebook. 

I will provide a full report on all Council actions.  Stay tuned.  Have a great week!
