1989 - 1990

The Nation budget for 1990 was $6,675. The Nation attended a Canton Invaders soccer game for the 2nd year in January. In March we reinstated the overnighter at the Canal Place YMCA. The Spring Campout was held at Camp Y-Noah and we had rain all weekend. Phil First became chairman of the 52nd National Indian Guides Convention to be held in Akron, Ohio in April 1991. The Nation bought 8 new poles for the teepee. We changed the constitution so the Nation officer’s term would run from October to September to coincide with our Nation’s year. The Fall Campout went back to Camp Tippecanoe this year. The Big Medicine Award went to the Seneca. The Outstanding Service Award went to Mike Downey, Rob Dumke, Greg Rogers and Larry Wagner. The Joe Friday Award went to Bob Bernat, Don Suboticki, John P. Markwood III, Keith Gwyn and Pete Schantz. Nation strength was 254 Little and Big Braves. Dues for 1989 – 1990 were $34 for father and son; $9 for an additional son and free for 3rd and above sons.
