Re-dedication booklet preview ...

If you're around for the Re-dedication, which is now less than a month away, you'll have a chance to grab a hard copy of the booklet, created by Tracy Churchill of Southeast Design and Promotion.  The booklet is packed with some great photos of the island during the renovation, as well as historic shots of the 1940 Tribal House and potlatch.

That's a shot of the book cover.  To take a peek at the rest of it, click here!
