Members of the Comanche Nation & CBC, this is to announce the intent of ComancheMedia to live stream the Sept.4 CBC meeting. As you know, all we need is electricity to set up. As you may also know, we have faced some obstacles of our own, in that we have not been able to raise the money we have needed. We're planning a one hour internet TV show in In any case, we continue to seek grants and donations. We had understood that Phyllis Attocknie was supportive of the idea of grant money for ComancheMedia, but this has not materialized. Our hope was not only for some more equipment, but for a small salary for a Comanche young person living in the Although we had hoped not to trouble the tribe with solicitations, as it turns out, we are indeed seeking resources from the tribe, as well as other places. We have donors who are willing to match money if the tribe would offer any amount. These are the same donors who supplied the expensive satellite to us. We are embarrassed to tell them, at least to this point, that the tribe--although supportive of ComancheMedia and the live streaming, was yet unwilling to offer any financial support. We were searching for a feasible explanation. Donors I know are not anxious to donate to the tribe, per se. They are willing to help individual Comanche’s, and they simply expect that the tribe would also be willing to help. The people on the outside of the tribe assume the Comanche tribe, like all other Indian tribes with casinos, has millions to spend on anything and anyone. So, we're planning to set up Sept. 4. We will use our smaller-sized equipment, so as not to crowd the room. The satellite will be stationed outside the building. Looking forward to seeing everyone--in person, and on live stream & chat line Thanks.
