*Due to the death of a Puyallup elder, the Puyallup Tribal Council requested use of Chief Leschi School on Saturday, Sept. 14, in order to hold a memorial dinner. CIRI agreed to reschedule the Northwest Potlatch, from Sept. 14 to Nov. 9, to allow the Puyallup Tribe time to appropriately honor one of their own. We sincerely regret any inconvenience this may have caused to our shareholders.

| When the Northwest Potlatch was rescheduled, Shareholder Relations called all shareholders who had RSVP'd to attend the event to advise them of the new date. In addition, the department attempted to contact other shareholders in the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, many of the phone numbers we had on file were wrong. Keeping your phone number current with the Shareholder Relations department ensures that CIRI will be able to contact you if the need arises. If your number is not current, please take a minute today to call Shareholder Relations at (907) 274-8638 or 1 (800) 764-CIRI. |
