The past 4 weeks we have held 6 Town Hall Meetings, had the good citizens of Provo sponsor in home cottage meetings 2-3 times per week across the city, spent several hours a day walking door to door getting to know the needs and concerns of Provo, spoken at a number of debates and forums hosted by the Chamber of Commerce, Kiwanis, Sierra club, Rotary, Daily Herald, BYU Students and various neighborhoods to name a few.

We have stuck with the issues and appreciate those who have taken the time to listen to our message.

Friday, October 30th at 7 pm will be another opportunity to attend a debate at Provo High

The last few days before the election we will be walking door to door as much as possible.

Please fill free to contact me and let me know if you would like me to walk your neighborhood.


Thank you,


John Curtis

We express our appreciation for your support on Cameron’s Eagle scout project to help the people of Samoa especially those of the Aleipata District. We thought you might want to know because of your effort, the following inventory was taken by Cameron. By way of monetary donation we have collected $ 3,500 toward the cost of the container. We still need to raise $2,000 to cover the container before being shipped to Samoa. We again express our appreciation for your generous donations. We plan to take pictures of the people who will be impacted by your support and post them on a website for you to view. Cameron wants to personally thank all of you for making this project possible it was a great success.

Help For Samoa

The Curtis Campaign is proud to help promote the Eagle Project of Cameron Laumatia. Please give this great cause some consideration.

IN RESPONSE TO THE DISASTER CAUSED BY THE EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI IN SAMOA, WHICH WIPED OUT MANY VILLAGES AND TAKEN MANY LIVES, WE AS A COMMUNITY AND INDIVIDUALS WOULD LIKE TO TAKE ACTION TO SHOW OUR SUPPORT AND CARE FOR THE PEOPLE OF SAMOA.

YOUR HELP WILL TARGET THE PEOPLE LIVING IN THE SOUTH COASTAL PARTS OF SAMOA, ESPECIALLY, THE VILLAGE OF SALEAUMUA. MOSTLY ALL THE VILLAGES IN SOUTH COASTAL PART OF SAMOA NO LONGER EXIST. THE DEAD HAVE MASS SERVICES AND ARE BURIED IN MASS GRAVES. PEOPLE ARE NOW LIVING MOSTLY UNDER COVERED TARPS PROVIDED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND THE RED CROSS. WE PLAN TO LOAD A ONE 40FT CONTAINER HERE IN PROVO AND SHIP TO SAMOA IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.

A REPRESENTATIVE WHO IS A NATIVE OF SALEAUMUA FROM PROVO WILL TRAVEL TO SAMOA TO RECEIVE AND DISTRIBUTE DONATIONS AS THEY ARRIVE IN THE CONTAINER. AS WE ASSESS THE HELP THAT IS NEEDED, THESE ARE THE ITEMS THAT WILL GREATLY BENEFIT AND HELP THEM TO REBUILD.

· Clothes and shoes for children and adults (preferably no snow coats but light jackets, blankets, toys, beds, sheets, hygiene items, first aid kits, towels, etc.)

· Food (flour, sugar, rice, peanut butter, jam, can food, water, etc.)

· Generator, chainsaw, nails, hammers, tools used to build,

· Tents, tarps, cooking utensils, kerosene lamps, stoves for cooking, grills, propane tanks, etc.

· Monetary donation will be greatly needed and appreciated to help cover the cost for the container which is $5,400 and purchase building materials in Samoa. An account # 59374 to help Samoa under Laumatia is available at Alpine Credit Union for monetary contributions.

Please bring all donation items to 1473 W 1970 N Grandview in Provo by Oct 14-17. The container will be loading on the 15-17 and needed to be picked up on the 19th in the morning to make the cut off shipping schedule from California. For further information please contact Vai Laumatia who is coordinating this effort at 801-427-2900 or 801- 377-2289. **CAMERON LAUMATIA –EAGLE PROJECT**

This week we held four meetings in four different parks in Provo. I was impressed with many who came out despite the cold to learn more about the issues. Thanks to everyone that participated.

Tonight we had close to 100 BYU students over for a discussion of student issues. Guess what was thier biggest concerrn? PARKING!!! They have a very good point. Why do we allow abusive towing and booting practices in Provo?
