Redbird is hosting its annual toy and school supplies drive on Saturday,
December 2, 2006 at the Chumash Interpretive Center at Oakbrook Park in
Thousand Oaks. Donations of new, unwrapped toys and basic school
supplies will be given to Native American children and families in need
of assistance.
Visitors will have the chance to meet today's Chumash and California
native people and witness a number of cultural demonstrations, explore
the park and hiking trails, listen to the Crooked Hat drum and enjoy
refreshments.
Donations of toys/school supplies or donations to Redbird are welcome;
there is no admission fee. Redbird is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational

( A special note to our friends: attached in a word document is a flier
that is the same as the body of this email, in the event you would like
to print and distribute this information. If you are a California
native or of other tribal affiliation and would like to have an
educational display, please let us know. This is a multi-cultural
gathering, and we do not have vendor spaces available. We would like to
keep the focus educational and fun. There is plenty of room for
volunteers, and we are in need of about $100.00 prior to the event to
provide food to our guests, both native and non-native. Pot-luck style
dishes are welcome. Dancers are welcome to bring regalia. We hope to
see you there!)
