HELP FOR SAMOA
IN RESPONSE TO THE DISASTER CAUSED BY THE EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI IN SAMOA, WHICH WIPED OUT MANY VILLAGES AND TAKEN MANY LIVES, WE AS A COMMUNITY AND INDIVIDUALS WOULD LIKE TO TAKE ACTION TO SHOW OUR SUPPORT AND CARE FOR THE PEOPLE OF SAMOA.
YOUR HELP WILL TARGET THE PEOPLE LIVING IN THE SOUTH COASTAL PARTS OF SAMOA, ESPECIALLY, THE VILLAGE OF SALEAUMUA. MOSTLY ALL THE VILLAGES IN SOUTH COASTAL PART OF SAMOA NO LONGER EXIST. THE DEAD HAVE MASS SERVICES AND ARE BURIED IN MASS GRAVES. PEOPLE ARE NOW LIVING MOSTLY UNDER COVERED TARPS PROVIDED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND THE RED CROSS. WE PLAN TO LOAD A ONE 40FT CONTAINER HERE IN PROVO AND SHIP TO SAMOA IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.
A REPRESENTATIVE WHO IS A NATIVE OF SALEAUMUA FROM PROVO WILL TRAVEL TO SAMOA TO RECEIVE AND DISTRIBUTE DONATIONS AS THEY ARRIVE IN THE CONTAINER. AS WE ASSESS THE HELP THAT IS NEEDED, THESE ARE THE ITEMS THAT WILL GREATLY BENEFIT AND HELP THEM TO REBUILD.
* Clothes and shoes for children and adults (preferably no snow coats but light jackets, blankets, toys, beds, sheets, hygiene items, first aid kits, towels, etc.)
* Food (flour, sugar, rice, peanut butter, jam, can food, water, etc.)
* Generator, chainsaw, nails, hammers, tools used to build,
* Tents, tarps, cooking utensils, kerosene lamps, stoves for cooking, grills, propane tanks, etc.
* Monetary donation will be greatly needed and appreciated to help cover the cost for the container which is $5,400 and purchase building materials in Samoa. An account # 59374 to help Samoa under Laumatia is available at Alpine Credit Union for monetary contributions.
We appreciate John Curtis, the Haws, Dr. Langi, Mouga,The Tongan Society of America, neighborhood communities and all of you as individuals for your generous support to help the people of Samoa especially the village of Saleaumua, Aleipata District.
Please bring all donation items to 1473 W 1970 N Grandview in Provo by Oct 14-17. The container will be loading on the 15-17 and needed to be picked up on the 19th in the morning to make the cut off shipping schedule from California. For further information please contact Vai Laumatia who is coordinating this effort at 801-427-2900 or 801- 377-2289. **CAMERON LAUMATIA –EAGLE PROJECT**

I am posting this message on behalf of the Su'a family (Mine Su'a (Laulu), Limena Su'a (Aho), Savili Oloti Su'a and Winnie Su'a (Auelua), to announce the passing of our beloved sister Vanesa Oliana Su'a (Mua), September 12, 2009, at Long Beach, CA, U.S.A. Our sister, Sister Vanesa Oliana Su'a (Mua) passed away after a long struggle with heart complications. She is survived by her husband, her eight children, two grandchildren and one on the way, her mother, four sisters, one brother, and lots of nieces and nephews. We know that all of her mission companions, and fellow missionaries whom she served with would like to know of her passing away. She was laid to rest the following friday, September 18, 2009 at the Forest Lawn Cemetery Park, Long Beach, CA, and her funeral services were held at Long Beach 15th Samoan Ward, at the Long Beach Stake, Long Beach, CA.

The months I spent as Elder Wecker's companion were among the most enjoyable of my mission.
Anybody know of his whereabouts?
Thx.

Hey where's everyone? Especially those who served during Pres. Ti'as time. I went by Sis. Matalolo and I came from Aua. Currently living in the beautiful but cold state of Alaska...the Land of the Last Frontier. Shoot me an e-mail and let's get this site going.

We are holding a fund-raising carnival as an end-of-year activity during the second week of December (last week of school). Can you pass the word out to any of our former missionary "angels" that we could use some little novelties, small toys, etc, that could be used for prizes for games such as the Wishing Well / Fishing Game - Pin the Nose On The Clown type of thing. Nothing big, just the Five-And-Dime (or nowdays equivalent) . Maybe even candy if post-Halloween,pre-Christmas is a good time to scoop it up.

I have a limited number of Apia Samoa Temple tie clips and lapel pins which were made specifically for the LDS Legacy Bookstore in Vaimoso, Samoa. We had them at the recent reunion in Salt Lake City and I will send whatever remains to Samoa November 1 for them to sell there. If you would like one of these, please write me and I will get one or more to you. I'm charging $5 USD and will need to have your contact information to get them to you. They are available in gold or silver.

Talofa! Does anyone have any copies of the original Eldares songs, or does anyone know how one would go about getting any? I was under the impression there were copies out there. Any help would be appreciated!

Talofa lava everyone,
I'm currently working with OSA (office of Samoan Affairs) based in Carson, CA. They've started a Samoan language class to teach Samoans who grew up in the states how to speak Samoan. They want to expand this program but need to know who would be interested in volunteering (about one night a week) to facilitate the classes.
Its a great way to keep up your language and give something back.
Let me know if you're interested
tuioletaulaga@hotmail.com
Faafetai lava.

This message is for the CCWS Class of 1966. We are trying to find out all of you and your whereabouts so we can communicate and see how you're doing. It's been a long time and it's time for a roll call, a ea? The CCWS 50th Anniversary in Utah was a great success, but only a few of us were there. Others who may know of our 1966 mates to please help us out. I can be reached at 281-498-4852 or savea7@gmail.com or my website at www.prideofthepacific.com. Ma le fa'aaloalo e tatau ai, Samuelu Partsch.

Tracy Wilson is headed to Samoa July 10, 2007 to finalize a venue for a new LDS Bookstore in the Pesega area. This is something that has been needed for a long time--not a distribution center for the Church, but a store to buy LDS books (new and used), jewelry, Church-related tourist items like souvenir decorative plates, etc. Tracy is in need of new and used books that would be appropriate for this store. They will be sold at a discount rate to cover cost of operating the store (ala Deseret Industries, etc.), and will provide employment for several families as they create Samoan artifacts, etc. PLEASE...anyone who has books they would like to donate, please contact Tracy at trw@wilsonsonline.net There will be ongoing shipments. Fa'afetai tele!!
