Welcome to the October Edition of the

SRPMIC Monthly Newsletter!


As the weather cools down, we take a look at what's up ahead. From donating blood to participating in the Glow Walk, you can contribute a lot to the Community this month! There are plenty of exciting events to attend as well, such as the Piipaash Matasheevm Community Social in Lehi. And, make sure to squeeze in meeting the election candidates so you can vote on the person you feel will best represent the Community. From Safety Day to Halloween celebrations, there's something for everyone.

 

Community Highlights

 

Native American Recognition Day


We had a blast at NARD this year! Both the lunchtime and evening events had great turnouts. People danced to great music while waiting in line for delicious prickly pear lemonade and free popcorn. The evening's performances captivated audiences, who also got to peruse the artisan market while enjoying Salt River Rez Dogs. Thank you to everyone who attended for another great year!
