Niawenkowa Akwesasne,

I would like to thank everyone who helped me get to Bradenton, Florida this November 25-27 for the Nike 3d Blue Chip Lacrosse Camp. It was an experience, and something I wasn’t too sure on if I was going but with the help of our amazing community they helped me get there. The experience on my behalf was a good motive for the future of my lacrosse career. However, it wasn’t only a boost for my motive in lacrosse but also my academics. The overall camp was about the training, and conditioning you would need in order to make it as a college level lacrosse player. The camp was also an evaluation for the Nike Blue Chip lacrosse camp next summer, which made it more competitive. Iam truly grateful for everything everyone has done for me. Now with all of that being said I would like to thank everyone who supported me off and on the field, and who has donated or supported me in any sort of way. Whether it was buying 50/50 tickets, attending my Trivia Night or Donating items for the Mohawk Auction. I would like to send a huge Niawen:kowa to everyone who helped me get to Florida:

Kristy Lynn MacIntosh, Ivy Oakes, Mr. & Mrs. Barry & Brenda Thompson, Girlies Accessories, Tammy Mitchell, Purple Ribbon, Dr. Dubuc, Akwesasne Sports, “DivaLissa”, Brenda Marsolais, Trish Garrow, Stylze Clothing, Lost Sock Laundromat, Chichi Papineau, Brooke Terrance, CKON, Shannon Boothe, Tammy Mitchell, Snye Recreation, Char Cole, Rae Seymour, Kim Herne, Lorraine “Snye” and Her fabulous Sisters, Rez Phones, Three Feathers Café, Mr. & Mrs. Leonard & Nancy Lazore, Mr & Mrs. Jim & Ramona O’Brien, St.Regis Mohawk Tribe’s Community Fund, Bears Den, Village Currency, Mrs. Debbie Thomas.

Please forgive me if I had forgotten to mention anyone. I would also like to say Niawen:kowa to my Ista and Rakeni who are always helping me reach my goals! I wish everyone A Happy Christmas and A Merry New Year.

Respectfully, Tazzaz Jacobs- Oakes
