Trail Mates And Trail Blazers Programs

Uncategorized
Recent Grads & Friends of Recent Grads of the Princess & Guides Program

A number of dads with sons or daughters who have graduated out of the guides and princess program have expressed an interest in resurrecting the Trail Blazers and Trail Mates Programs. These programs are for older boys or girls and their dads where they plan about 3 events a year. We all graduate from the program for a variety of reasons, but graduation comes at a time when our kids need even more opportunities to spend time with us as they grow older and need their fathers to provide a solid male role model to demonstrate to them how a man should behave in their presence. This program is designed to provide a few more years of fathers sharing time and forging stronger lifelong bonds with their kids.
The Trail Blazers and Trail Mates Program are designed to be less time consuming than the guide/princess program. Generally, one activity is an adventure such as camping, hiking, rafting , etc. One event is community service oriented. The number and type of events depend on the make-up of the kids in their particular Nation. Meetings would be necessary and would be run by the boys or girls with guidance from their dads. If there is an interest and we can put this together quickly, it would be great to have a presence at the up coming fall camp out.
Our NEW LONGHOUSE supports this program. If you are interested, please contact me ASAP. If you know other individuals who may be interested, please pass the word. Remember, Trail Blazers and Trail Mates are two separate programs.
Thank you for your support of The Longhouse of the Orange Skies, Non Profit.
Sincerely,

Orange Street Fair fundraiser was a huge success!

Our first fundraising effort as a new Longhouse has paid off! We collected $3018.00 in parking fees and donations. A few people gave $10.00 (included in the $3018) donations because they had great memories of the program. Additionally, R.E.E. Insurance and The Real Estate Establishment has committed to an additional $300.00 donation so the total raised will be $3318.00. Can we get a Noo to the Nay!!

The Longhouse would like to thank the City of Orange, Irma Hernandez Deputy City Manager, Councilmen Denis Bilodeau and the following volunteers: Brad Renoult, Doug Hathaway, Don McCarroll, Dan Hughes, Gil Salazar, Chris McDonough, Scot Ikeda, Jeff Hardman, Mike Mitchell, Frank Murphy, Chris Bauer, Jim Azling, Steve Okamura,  Daniel Alexander, Alan Roney, Jodi Roney, Julie Roney, Alton Klein, Dave Welch, Richard Chrystie, John Hanson, Norbert Lippert, Eric Bergeron, Jeff Oymaian, Dan Coffman, Mike Schmitt, Greg Assaf, Ron Berry, Ben Phillips, Ed Carter plus all the princesses that volunteered.

A few other points. Many, many people expressed their support and memories of our program. Several elderly people commented that their parents had been in the program before them and had wonderful childhood memories of their time spent in the program with Dad. We have a proud heritage.  We also forged some new relationships with other non-profits. The Orange Senior Center and Orange Choral Music.

The Great Spirit is please with the Longhouse of the Orange Skies!image IMG_3965 IMG_3967 IMG_3961 IMG_3964 IMG_3963 IMG_3962
