The
Clubs in Cheyenne River announced that baseball would be a new
activity this summer and we were requested to send equipment for
about 50 children. Initially, equipment and uniforms were purchased
for children of the Reservations in Lower Brule, Crow Creek and
Cheyenne River. However, on Cheyenne River, more than 150 children
signed up to play, and The Southport Congregational Church, the
Fairfield Nationals Little League, Fairfield Girls Softball teams,
The Soccer Post in Fairfield, and the Boys and Girls Clubs of
Southport, and the Fairfield Sun newspaper all stepped in to make
the baseball drive a success. When members of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints heard about our efforts, one of their
members, Bob Lopiano, who is also head of the Pop Warner League
in Monroe, CT said, "We have been looking for the right place
to donate new football equipment for several months and nothing
felt right. This feels right!!"
Changing
Winds purchases were made possible through donations of listeners
of WBAI radio's Tiokasin Ghost Horse, Cheyenne River Lakota Sioux.
Thank
you to all of our loyal supporters!
