Tribal members invited to Community Fund commercial shoot

We are making a TV commercial for Spirit Mountain Community Fund. Tribal Council is in full support of this project to help educate Oregonians about the generous community support of the Grand Ronde Tribe. 

On Saturday, Dec. 8, there is an opportunity for interested Tribal members to participate in the filming of the commercial.  The commercial shoot will happen at the Plankhouse.  We welcome any interested Tribal member participants until the Plankhouse is full. 

Tribal members wishing to be in the commercial need to be at the Plankhouse at 9:30 a.m.  We expect to be done with the community shots by about 1 p.m. 

If you have traditional regalia, vest, hats, jewelry or other items that show pride in Tribal traditions, this is a great time to share Tribal heritage and identity.  It is not necessary to wear these things.  People will also be in street clothes for the commercial, but this is a good time to take pride in Tribal customs. 

Anyone choosing to volunteer for the Spirit Mountain Community Fund commercial gives their permission for the fund and the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde to use their image in the TV commercial and associated promotional campaigns.
