called Avatar Meher Baba's Sufism Reoriented. She produced the
astrological interpretations of each Zodiac sign and presented it
as a gift to Stanley R. Alapa. Stan searched for ways to help humanity
and believed his gift of Zodiac signs should be made available to
the general public, in order to help people make better choices about
life, love and work.
With the help of his full-grown children, who were well immersed in
their creative enterprise in 1996, Stan felt the time was right to
ressurrect the signs and give it new life, as the dawn of a the Millennium
was fast approaching. The "Treasure Box" was opened in the
family home on Moloka'i. With the help of his daughters, Stan produced
the first product of the Zodiac signs which was in the form of greeting
cards. Helping others became the foundation for establishing Alapa
Hawaii.
