Golden Oldies Bash

On October 29th the Elder Abuse Prevention Program held a “Golden Oldies Winnebago Indians & Lady Indians vs. Bash” at the Hochunk Center in Winnebago. Everyone was requested to come dressed in their dance era. Everyone had fun and got some good exercise along The South Sioux City Cardinals with good information on Elder Abuse Prevention. As they signed in they were Tuesday, November 25th given an Elder Abuse Prevention Brochure and asked to read it, because we were having trivia questions from that brochure throughout the evening. Prizes were Winnebago High School awarded for the fi rst correct answer, and a prize for the best dressed won a 32” TV. There was a tie, so we had a “Dance Off” between Sandra Whitewater and Dot Game times: 6 & 8 pm Houghton doing the “Twist”, and the Winner was Sandra Whitewater by audience cheer. So congratulations to Sandra. I want to thank Winnavegas for donating the bingo passes, and thank my daughters, son-in-laws and companion Mike for helping me set –up, and clean-up for the event. I appreciate the help and donation. Just to mention that the funding I used for this event was from a speaker fee I received for conducting a presenta- tion on Elder Abuse Prevention at the Indian Country Conference in Mayetta, KS. Sacred Hoops Basketball Camp

The Whirling Thunder Wellness Center recently sponsored their annual Sa- cred Hoops Basketball Camp this year held at the Winnebago Public Schools.
