Moreover, she does not want anyone to feel left out and plans on bringing everyone together in order to plan for a meaningful March activities.Kohama said that she is inviting all Palau Community College (PCC) students and community members who are citizens of the FSM states to participate in a meeting to discuss and organize for the activities in March.Kohama said that a meeting of all FSM citizens in Palau will be held in the PCC cafeteria on Sunday, February 22. The meeting is scheduled to start at 7:00 p.m. and is expected to be adjourned at 9:00 p.m.“I am hoping that all FSM citizens in Palau would be able to attend the meeting,” Kohama said. “At the same time, I am hoping that through meeting, we, as a people, would learn more of each other and possibly establish networks through which we could support and assist one another.”Anyone, especially FSM citizens, who is interested to know more about the FSM citizens’ meeting or the March activities, may contact Rose Aliven-Kohama at 488-2470/71, extension 241 for further details.
