INVITATION TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY:
As part of the Sinajana Fiesta activities this year, you are cordially invited to the exhibit opening of I SONGSONG SINAJANA: A PHOTO COLLECTION OF SINAJANA this coming WEDNESDAY, October 24, 2012 at 7:30 p.m.
at the Sinajana Community Center exhibit hall. The photo exhibit
showcases the L. Ron Hubbard Collection of black and white photos of the
resettlement of Sinajana village by WWII refugees from both old
Sinajana, Hagatna and surrounding areas. As a result of the WWII
resettlement, this ancient village (indicated in 17th century records)
became the largest village in Guam with many residents establishing
themselves as parishioners of St. Jude Church. The collection dates
from late 19th century to post Urban Renewal period. The exhibit was
made possible through a grant from the Guam Visitors Bureau as a way of
augmenting and enhancing Chamorro cultural celebrations. Photos were
also provided by Sinajana residents, the Capuchin Collection, and the
Micronesian Area Research Center at UOG.
The multi-page exhibit catalogue will be provided to the first 100 signed-in guests--one per family.
PLEASE
COME, SEE and ENJOY OUR EXHIBIT of over 50 photos. And, please kindly
pass this invitation on to relatives, friends, off-island guests and
military visitors. The Exhibit Hall will also be opened from Thursday,
Oct. 25 to Monday, Oct. 29, 10a.m. to 5:00p.m.
Respectfully,
HOPE A. CRISTOBAL
and WILLIAM L. HERNANDEZ, Curators
