FAMILY GATHERING RAINED OUT

The Family Gathering scheduled for Saturday, October 3rd at the Mohegan Park in Norwich was rained out. Native tribes generally encourage the rain to fall through a variety of ceremonies and creative expressions, each with deep meanings that reflect our culture's unique experience of the world. Those meanings are vividly depicted in stories, songs, poems, and prayers to/for rain. Unless there were Tribal Members praying for rain, we can only conclude that the Creator felt it was more important to water the park than to make it dry and clear for our event.

The cancellation of the social was thought to be self-evident but we apologize to those members who braved the weather and showed up for the social regardless of the rain. We really do not have a good way of informing members of last minute changes in plans.

But do not fret, there will be a Family Gathering on Sunday, December 13th from 12:00PM to 3:00PM, to be held at the VFW in Uncasville COME RAIN OR SHINE!
