Dear Editor,
I would like to enquire if you have any cabins available from the 15–18 of December. We are with two adults and a baby of 18 months.
Many thanks for your reply,
Richard Thorp
Dear Mr. Thorp,
As of Feb. 24 we do have availability for December. If you have any questions you can call Jacob at (800) 949-6101, Ext. 115 and he will make the reservation for you or visit www.seminoletours.com and book your vacation online.
Again, thank you,

Dear Editor,
We plan to visit your park on Easter Sunday, March 27, after a cruise. We’re planning on the day package. First, are you open this day?
Can you also give me directions from the Ft. Lauderdale airport? We are renting a car and driving. I couldn’t find a directions link on your web site.
Thanks,
Judy & Mary
Dear Judy & Mary,
Thank you for your inquiry, but the museum is closed on that date, Easter Sunday. We will re-open on Tuesday March 29. Hopefully you can make arrangements to visit us another time.
Sincerely,
Tina Osceola

Dear Editor,
Hello, my name is Pauletta Johnson. I heard that there is a golf tournament along with some other sports activities held at the end of May. Could you tell me who the contact person and telephone number is so I can more information to qualify? I’m from Oklahoma and would be very much interested in participating. Your reply would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Pauletta Johnson
Dear Ms. Johnson,
I am not aware of any golf dates at this time but I will ask our golf coordinator and let you know. Next week, write me back and remind me and I will let you know what I found.

Dear Editor,
My name is Mike Hinds and I am going to be in Ft. Lauderdale on March 9–13. I am wondering if it is too late to schedule a meat hog hunt for either March 11 or March 12?
Thank you for your help,
Mike Hinds
Dear Mr. Hinds,
I called the Hunting Adventure at (800) 689-2378 and found that they are booked through April as this is their Osceola Turkey season.

Dear Editor,
I am inquiring about becoming a firefighter for your Tribe. I am currently a certified firefighter II and I and enrolled in an EMT class which will conclude on June 6. Will I still be able to apply, or do I need to wait until your next hiring period?
Thank You,
Brian Hoadley
Dear Mr. Hoadley,
Unfortunately, 80 percent of our business constitutes emergency medical response. Therefore, if a candidate does not have the required certifications such as Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) certifications, it defeats the purpose.
My answer is that you must wait until our next hiring period when hopefully by then you will have the required certifications for the position.
Thank you,
Armando Negrin
Director
Emergency Services Department

Dear Editor,
My fiancé and I are planning a wedding. I would love to have a southwestern theme, dress and all. Can anyone tell me where I can get assistance ideas, etc.
Sincerely,
Cassie Powell
Dear Ms. Powell,
The Seminole Tribe is considered a Southeastern Tribe so if you need info about Southwestern dress and tradition my suggestion would be to search the internet. However, most Tribes and Tribal people do not share information on specific customs or sacred rites, so you may not have too much luck when approaching Tribes.
Sincerely,
Tina M. Osceola
