Japanese Tsunami Relief Efforts
The Maia Fest Hafla was held on May 21, 2011. The turnout was good, the performances were stellar, and we were able to rise money to send to Japan to help with the relief aid. The church where this was held at, Simpson United Methodist Church appears to have an ongoing efforts to assist Japan since many of the members have friends and family over there.

The church also does regular fundraisers to support their daily operations. These events are great. You may want to check in periodically to see what they are doing.
