The Pacific Islanders' Cultural Association was formed in 1995 as an
umbrella organization, to meet the common needs of all Pacific
islanders in Northern California. It is comprised of interested
volunteers and members of clubs rooted in a wide range of interests
including outrigger canoes, music, dance, language, history, folk
arts, foods, and athletics. Our mission is to develop and perpetuate
through education the histories, cultures and traditions of all
Pacific islanders. Your support, whether by sending in your membership
dues and joining, participating in our events and/or volunteering,
will be greatly appreciated and will assist PICA in achieving its
goals. www.pica-org.org
