Plan a Trip/Event

Below is an example based on a past tribe agenda to help you in scheduling your monthly secondary events and house meetings. On tours where the host requires a group larger than your tribe, feel free to invite other longhouse tribes. Plan such trips far enough in advance so that they can be put in the newsletter or at least be announced at the next longhouse meeting. This will give the other tribes a chance to join the fun and add to the numbers required by the host. This list is not all-inclusive but is intended to assist your tribe for event planning. If you have other places, events or ideas share them with Council to be added to this list.
