Greetings to all elders, relatives and friends.

The district meeting scheduled for Sat 02 July did not convene due to unfortunate circumstances that happened during the week.

The fund raising dinner scheduled for Sat 25 June did not eventuate for the same reason.

The Lopta Meeting was held on Sat 09 July, and an invitation was extended to those selected by the Oinafa Meeting to organise the function in November.

• A brief presentation on a program for the day (Details can be read in the June Report)
• A request to members of the Lopta meeting to attend the Oinafa meeting for better cooperation
• To initiate a work group within the Oinafa Meeting to assess and coordinate assistance for our people in Fiji and Rotuma.

On Sat 16 July, the Chairman of SODCM with other members went to meet with their counterparts in Nadi in regards to the Oinafa Day function in November.

• Fatiaki Misau gave a brief summary on some of the projects planned for Oinafa District
• The ideas and intended program as explained to the groups in Suva were presented to the Nadi Meeting
• Varea Susau  was appointed by those in the meeting to liaise with representatives in Suva on related matters
• As for the intended funds to be raised, elders in Nadi agreed to contribute their share for the preparations of the function within the coming months
• The Chairman of SODCM thanked all relatives and friends in Nadi for their commitment and kind support for the District
• After the meeting, dinner with drinks were served to share with those who came from Suva

We thank all relatives and friends who have been very kind to host us at different group meetings that belong to the district of Oinafa.
May God bless us all.
