September Update
The summer months are flying by. It’s hot, but we’re enjoying the weather while we have it. Winter will be here before we know it!
Our staff and volunteers continue to inspire with their hard work through the summer heat. Responding to community needs, ramps are being built while beds and outhouses are assembled in our shop and sent out across the reservation. There are only five weeks left in the 2024 volunteer season, but our construction season will continue as long as weather allows. We will then switch over and begin running our Winter Heating Program, which supports community members during the harsh winter months.
With the help of our volunteers, Devorah and Stephanie are growing all sorts of stuff in the Feather II gardens. Produce includes tomatoes, potatoes, hot peppers, bell peppers, onions, grapefruit, watermelon, cantaloupe, all sorts of squash and more. What we grow in our gardens is made available to the local community. All organic, all delicious, and nutritious!
Update on Operations Manager Sidney Jealous of Him
Sidney continues to heal and will be returning to work in the next couple of weeks. He sends his gratitude for all the support received following the recent car accident. All passengers are now back home on the reservation and recovering. We appreciate the Re-Member extended family for your incredible response to this unfortunate incident.
Join us at our 2024 Year-End Celebration in Minnesota
We hope you will join us in Plymouth, MN on Saturday, October 12, just outside of Minneapolis, for an evening of fun and festivities. It will be a wonderful event where Re-Member staff, supporters and volunteers will come together to share stories, laughs and make meaningful memories. We will reflect on another successful season and look ahead to 2025 and beyond.
Tickets for the event, which include a plated dinner, are available on the Re-Member website.
