We are fast approaching the Annual Meeting for the Native Village of Georgetown, which will be held on August 27 this year.  This year, not only will two council seats be filled by general election for the Tribal Council, but we are excited to announce we will also be appointing one seat which is open on the Environmental Committee as well.Currently seated on the Environmental Committee are Georgetown Tribal Members, Renee Fredericks and Debby Hartman. We would love to have another Georgetown member join us this year for quarterly meetings and discussions.How often and where are the meetings held?  Meetings are held either on the phone or in person in the Anchorage office.  Travel is paid, pizza is free and delicious!Where can I learn more about the Environmental Department?    Check out our website!What kind of projects are there? The committee helps point the Environmental Department in the direction they think is most important to the Tribe and land.  They do this by developing planning materials, and helping facilitate current projects.  Current projects include water quality testing, documenting Tribal Ecological Knowledge, Environmental Education for the Kuskokwim area, and more.Have more questions about what it's like to be on the Committee?  Give me a call, send me an e-mail, or chat with Renee or Debby.What is the deadline for volunteering?  Let me know by August 26 if you are interested![gallery ids="370,371,372,373" type="slideshow"]Til Next Time....
