On Tuesday Aug. 5, choruses of happy birthday filled the Herman Osceola Gym in honor of Big Cypress Councilman David Cypress. Tribal members, employees, and friends celebrated David's birthday with great food, music, and special guests.

Paul Buster and the Cowbone Band opened things up with their brand of music and Indian humor. As the crowd gathered, Cleave Baker's Renegade Bar-B-Q catering group worked tirelessly to get the luncheon ready.

The decorating group continued on with the placement of small birthday wishes. As David arrived, the pace of the party picked up.

Well-wishers from the Seminole Tribe included: Chairman Mitchell Cypress, President Moses Osceola, Big Cypress Board Representative Paul Bowers, Sr., Brighton Councilman Roger Smith, Fort Pierce Representative Sally Tommie, and Naples Representative O.B. Osceola.

There were even two highly respected professionals that the Seminole Tribe is sponsoring: Heavyweight boxer Ray Mercer and billiards player Vivian Villarreal.
Well David, another year has passed. The present is good and the future looks great. Keep that in mind and continue helping the Seminole Tribe in all you do!

Happy Birthday David Cypress, friend to all.
