Re-Member
Spring Program Appeal
May, 2011

Greetings!


WOPILA (thank you) to each and every volunteer who contributes to the good efforts of our program.

 

It is your VOLUNTEER LABOR which allows us to accomplish so much throughout the season -- splitting and delivering firewood for families in need, building wheelchair ramps for elders, skirting trailer homes, installing outhouses, building bunk beds, and re-roofing homes, among our many projects.

 

None of these efforts would be possible without YOU. We are most thankful for your support, and your continued interest in the unique program that Re-Member offers, as we continue to

BUILD RELATIONSHIPS across Pine Ridge.

 

With limited tribal financial resources available this year to assist in supplying materials to Re-Member, we are faced with the prospects of independently funding all of our construction projects. 

 

Please consider a one-time or recurring gift to Re-Member, SUPPORT OUR 2011 PROGRAMMING EFFORTS TODAY!  

 

We already have a waiting list of 125 REQUESTS for assistance in 2011, but with the help of OVER 200 VOLUNTEERS during our spring season, we have already affected the lives of HUNDREDS OF LAKOTA OYATE across the reservation.

 

Donations can be mailed to:

 

RE-MEMBER

ATTN: MAY P/A 

P.O. BOX 5054

Pine Ridge, S.D., 57770 

 

You can also donate online via our Re-Member website

 

Your support will ensure every effort is made to address the MOST BASIC NEEDS of our friends on Pine Ridge. As we cope with the rising cost of fuel, WE NEED YOUR HELP to ensure our home repair budget INCREASES to help meet the needs across the reservation. 

 

Sincerely,

 

Barry Karlson, President
