Hello Everyone,
    Please send me agenda items that you would like to discuss for the conference call next Tuesday, April 28, at 10 a.m.
    I wanted to update everyone about the Chinle retreat.  We are meeting on Tuesday (5-19-15) from 1-4 p.m. at the Holiday Inn.  We will have county updates and presentations from Gerald Moore, Grey Ferrell, Jeannie Benally, Matt Livingston and Felix Nez.  We will travel to Dine College at Tsaile (about 25 miles) and meet with Felix Nez and enjoy a traditional Navajo dinner prepared by Chef Franco E. Lee of Dine College.  He will be serving smoked lamb shoulder, mixed salad covered with diced prickly pear and diced chilies,  3 sisters sauté (squash, bean and corn),  herb roasted tricolor potatoes, chil chin pudding made with sumac berries, blue corn cookies, Navajo cake, Navajo iced tea and a prickly pear drink sprinkled with cedar. Bonito Litson from the land grant at Dine College will join us for dinner.
    On Wednesday (5-20-15), we will have breakfast and lunch prepared and served in the meeting room at the Holiday Inn. The meeting will start at 8 a.m. until 3 p.m.  Karletta Chief, Extension Specialist, will be doing a a short presentation on her extension work with Dine college.  At 3 p.m. there will be a hike to White House Ruins or a Canyon De Chelly Ranger led hike on the tunnel trail.  You can choose which one you would like to hike.  Both are about 2 hours.  That evening dinner on your own.
     Thursday (5-21-15), we will have breakfast and meet from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. with an agents discussion and administration joining us at 10 a.m.  Ethan Orr may join us on one of these days.
     Lunch on your own.
     P.S. remember that Chinle is on Daylight Savings Time, so our meeting times are daylight savings time, an hour ahead of Arizona time.
     Thank You and watch for further information about the conference call from Kristie.
