UPCOMING EVENTS
Soon Pacific Traditions Society (PTS) will launch a new website, dedicated to the past and future projects of PTS. Some of what is on vaka.org will be on that site. PTS will also attempt to update vaka.org with the last 20 months when we have been so busy that we fell behind in posting events and updates. Many are only on Facebook.
