California Choctaw people are very proud of the fact
that from his first year as Chief, Chief Greg Pyle has been coming to
the gatherings to visit with the people and to tell us what is going on
in the Nation. We thank Chief for his visits to the gathering.

The Choctaw Nation CHRs offer so much to the
gatherings, assisting us with our health issues.
We really enjoy the Choctaw Nation Color Guard, they
start off our gathering by bringing in the colors and they end the
gathering retiring the colors.

The gathering means allot of work for a
bunch of hard working dedicated people. The pre-gathering planning,
arrangements, purchasing, setting up the grounds, working the booths,
cooking the food, and cleaning up afterward you'd think the day was over
for this group, but they still have a annual board meeting to attend.
What a tired, but wonderful group. (standing) Vice President ~Jerry
Wood, (seated l-r) Advisory Board member Tucker Williamson, Asst VP
Shirley Williamson, Executive Committee Members Gina Wood, Stephanie
Wood, Board Member Deana Banks and our newest hard worker Terry Banks.
Yakoke to the best of the best!
