ROSEBUD TOY DRIVE

& WINTER EMERGENCY RELIEF UPDATES

TOY DRIVE:
At Present, the Native American Music Association is sending 1440 small toy items to the President of Sicangu Oyate (Rosebud Sioux Tribe) for his Christmas Toy Drive for the 7500 children ages 1 thru 18 on their reservation. This now brings the current talley of toys raised to 4600 and leaves approximately 2900 toys needed. (just 290 people sending 10 items each would do it!)

Keep Spreading the word. NO GIFT TOO SMALL FOR THE CHILDREN.

Send Toys To:
Rosebud Sioux Tribe
PO Box 430 (For UPS: 11 Legion Drive)
Rosebud, SD 57570


WINTER RELIEF EFFORTS:
Tempatures in South Dakota reached a below 35 degree windchill. Some areas reported below 60 degrees. NAMA's Emergency Winter Relief Efforts remain underway on the Pine Ridge Reservation, particularly for the elders & disabled and small children. This week NAMA purchased emergency heat/electric for four households, one of which a grandmother taking care of 5 children almost died in the sub zero weather.
At present, 156 households are in need of emergency heat and have no access to funds.

Severe weather conditions are being predicted ahead. Donations are needed.
