The Chuck E. Cheese of American Samoa perhaps?
That’s what some who’ve been inside the Graceland Family Center in Nuu’uli think.
The opening and blessing of the Center, located behind the Haleck Service Station in Nu’uuli, was held last evening.
Family and friends of the owners, Max Haleck Jr. Corporation, business partners and individuals who had a hand in making the center a reality, attended.
Reverend Asaua Fuimaono offered prayers, and Governor Lemanu gave remarks. He acknowledged the late Pastor Otto Haleck, Pastor Vickie Haleck and the Haleck family for their continuous efforts to provide options for those in need and those without hope.
Project Manager Gerhard Haleck, elaborated on the youth and family-focused vision and mission of Graceland.
