First of all, I’d like to congratulate the winner of our Pendleton blanket: Timothy Burke of Pekin Insurance, Pekin IL. Tim, “shipen ne ahkwiyan” (spread out the blanket).
Our Tribal domicile came away from the Agent’s Summit pleased with the many visitors we sat with in our banquet room, even on Wednesday morning as the Summit was winding down. Thank you. We appreciate your interest and taking the time to meet and greet our team. That’s all we ask because I know you will be impressed with the expertise Elaine and Rhonda of Tribal Support Services bring to the table.
Something I have repeated several times is that the Tribal Domicile will be here always. Not to appear too maudlin, I have to mention the crossing over of our Chief, Chester (Chet) Brooks, shortly before the Agent Summit. His commitment to the Domicile was demonstrated by his previous trips to this event. In fact, we discussed him making this trip until his health prevented him from coming. Our Assistant Chief, now Chief, Brad Kills Crow, was scheduled to attend as well, to introduce and acquaint himself with you and the industry and subsequently promote the continuous pledge made by our tribe. Even with our sudden loss and the immediate demands of becoming chief, Chief Kills Crow undertook this journey.
The Delaware Tribe of Indians is a social services body, which provides program assistance for Tribal, Community, Educational, Elders, Children and more. We are delighted to be able to use the income generated from our domicile to fund these critical tribal programs. Recently we were able to offer scholarships to several students in need.
There is no need to repeat the cliché. So, as we all move forward in our professional endeavors, maybe we too can establish a legacy our peers, friends and family can be proud of. The GPW & Associates F&I Product Conference is packed with impressive speakers and invaluable topics. Our team looks forward to November 8th – growing our existing relationships and building new ones. We listen! See you there or contact us anytime and experience our pleasant professionalism.
Wanishi (thank you)
