Money Raised For W. Samoan Team

'J'HE recently-formed Lions Club of Apia is rapidly making a mark upon the community with its fund-raising activities for worthwhile causes. In its latest effort the club raised more than £250 at a New Year race meeting it sponsored in association with the Apia Turf Club to help send Western Samoan athletes to the South Pacific Games at Noumea in December.

The Western Samoa Sports Federation now appears to be in a much fi nanc ial position than it was before the first Games in Suva in 1963. After a very successful athletic meeting against Tongan and American Samoan representatives in mid-1965, a substantial share of profits from the last Games in Fiji, and a highly successful fund raising ball in December it now has well over £l,OOO in kitty. • The picture shows Lions Club members at the New Year race meeting, where they ran a “hot dog” and hamburger stand on the course From left (standing) are: Dan Phineas, Jim Curry, Bill Rasmussen, Bob Sylvester (president), and Jim Moore.
