Happy Friday!

As a reminder, this weekend is the CTSI’s Annual Nesika Illahee Pow-Wow. You can learn more here: https://ctsi.nsn.us/heritage/pow-wow/. Today at noon was the deadline for the pow-wow dance sponsorships and our online portal (and Leslie’s dogged work) brought in $9,350 in sponsorships. Huzzah!
