Chief Chuckles speaks:


Aho Creeksters,

The following is the tasking that resulted from the meeting of the council:


First, congratulations to the following talon, claw, feather earners:

Rattlesnake: Eagle talons with sapphire beads (5 mile hike) and green beads (mental projects)

Ice Lizard: Bear claw with red beads (physical fitness)

Orange Monkey, Running Cougar (my humble apologies if this name is incorrect), Soaring Eagle, Jarred and Sage from the newly affiliated Barracuda family, and Rocco (who will become part of the Lizard family) all earning their Turquoise feather for swimming.

Outstanding job young braves!

I look forward to handing out many more such awards through the season as our braves demonstrate their skills and earn awards through time spent with their big braves.


Here is the go to guy list with tasks for the upcoming campout and beyond:

Paul: Acquire spare tire, lug wrench and flat fix for the trailer, to be reimbursed from the tribal slush fund, held by the medicine man (Pletch). Also bring tire and baseball bucket to campout for our wargame.

Pletch: Bring jack for trailer and bring 50 gallon cooler for the nation lunch.

George: The trigger has been pulled for the new t-shirts! You are cleared to have your t-shirt guy crank out as many as he is willing to do. Whatever was agreed upon at the end of last season is what we are sticking with. The only thing that came up is to ensure that 'FATHER/SON' is on the shirt (other council elders please correct me if I am stating this incorrectly). I am assuming that the shirt background color will still be Creek blue (again for the elders correct me if I am wrong). Also, George, you are cleared to have your guy produce our trailer logo to match the t-shirt logo. It would be great if we could have the t-shirts and trailer logo for the Oct meeting on Oct 11th. If you incur any cost in this, please let us know and we'll work it from the slush fund, and then charge for the shirts to pay the fund back. Thanks dude!

Dean: Hook up with nation coup keeper at campout for coup replenishment (I'll hook you up with him myself)

Broph: Hook up with Byron this week to get the trailer registration and tag to him.

Broph and Dean, our esteemed chefs: Do Sat breakfast, Sat dinner, and Sun breakfast to be reimbursed from our food fund held by our wampum bearer (Silver Cougar). Also provide the nation with hot dog and hamburger buns for the Sat Nation Lunch, to be reimubursed by the nation wampum bearer (oh yea, that's you). If able and willing provide a side dish for the nation lunch, to be reimbursed from the tribal slush fund (Pletch). Save all of your receipts!

Byron: Bring trailer with firewood (Pletch owes you). Hook up with Broph this week to get the registration and tag

Bill: Collect $12 (or whatever this year's fee is) from each family who is spending the night, and give to the nation wampum bearer (Broph)

All those at the campout: Let's make sure all braves, big and little, participate in meal clean-up (clearing and cleaning the tables and doing all dishes). I think that should be an all hands effort at every campout. Also, for this campout, the displays will be very minimal (no little brave participation, just displays to show to potential recruits), so again let's all plan to pitch in for a real quick set-up and tear down. Also, for those spending the night, don't forget to bring your nation camping fee (I think it's going to be $12 this year) to give to the wampum bearer (Bill). For you FNGs, your first 'spend the night' campout is free.

A friendly reminder for money owed:

Bryon: $40 to Broph for YMCA registration
$75 to Bill Rachels for the food fund

George: $40 to Broph for YMCA registration
$75 to Bill for the food fund

Bill: $40 to Broph for YMCA registration (if you didn't give it to him at the meeting)
$75 to yourself for the food fund

Pletch: $5 to Bill for the food fund

Christian: $40 to Broph for the YMCA registration (if you didn't hit him up at the meeting)
$75 to Bill for the food fund (if you didn't hit him up at the meeting)


Although this will be a toasty warm camp weekend, it should be a great kick-off for the season. The Creek Tribe will continue to rock!

Remind your little braves to be thinking about their next feathers/claws for October.

If I have forgotten anything, I defer to any council member (big brave) to fill in any blanks and/or make any corrections.

See you next weekend!

Chuckles out
