In half century since then, the Peleliu Club, a non-profit organization, has promoted Palauan culture and created a community for people from Palau who moved to your island to pursue opportunities, “Isechal said.THE Peleliu Club association in Guam will launch a fundraising to build a traditional meeting house or “Abai”. The membership of the club was organized in the 1950s when Guam became their home.The fundraising will be held on April 18, 2009, at Lemai café.Tickets will be sold at $10 while door admission cost $20.During the event, guests will be entertained by traditional Palauan dancers and singers.The club will also be offering a grand prize of a round-trip ticket to Palau sponsored by Continental Airlines.In Palau, the contact persons for the tickets are Loretta Wong, Judge Uduch Sengebau Senior and Del.
