YOU'VE COME OF AGE <br />"CSE's new Alpha Card I.D. System" <br />If you are 60 years of age or better, then you are <br />entitled to get a little break for reaching this <br />milestone. Coordinated Services issues the Senior <br />ID Card for the County of Hawai`i. This is your <br />passport to savings at many merchants and <br />businesses around the island. When you register, <br />you will be given your ID card and a discount <br />booklet which lists the places where you can get a <br />break on the price of goods and /or services. <br />Discount amounts vary, and the listing is updated <br />Periodically. Your ID card will have your picture on <br />it, which is helpful to people who do not have a <br />driver's license and need a picture ID. <br /> <br />CSE will no longer have to take your picture with a <br />Polaroid camera, cut & paste, and laminate the <br />card. CSE has embarked on a new "Alpha Card <br />I.D. System" which takes about 15-20 minutes <br />(completion of the registration form, inputting and <br />processing the ID card), and it is more cost <br />efficient. <br /> <br />For information call the Coordinated Services for <br />the Elderly at 961-8777 in Hilo or at 322-1812 in <br />Kona. The only requirement for an I.D. Card is that <br />you be 60 years of age or over and a resident of <br />Hawai`i County. <br /> <br />CSE would like to thank the County in purchasing <br />the East Hawai`i I.D. system, and Councilman K. <br />Angel Pilago for the West Hawai`i I.D. system. <br />"Mahalo!!!" <br /> <br />L -R: West Hawai`i's Terence Terada & Walter Fisher, <br />CSW Ill's, practice on the new Alpha Card I.D. System. <br /> <br />CSE VOLUNTEER <br />RECOGNITION LUNCHEON <br />Coordinated Services for the Elderly will be <br />recognizing the efforts of the many dedicated <br />volunteers who serve our elderly citizens around the <br />island. Whether they are washing a van, driving a <br />van, answering telephones, filing, interpreting, <br />typing, assisting in the issurance of Senior I.D. <br />Cards, taking messages for staff, or <br />"swamping" (helping clients in and out of the vans), <br />CSE volunteers are an integral part of our <br />operations. <br /> <br />As CSE staff always say, "We couldn't do it without <br />you!!" This year's West Hawai`i CSE Volunteer <br />Recognition Luncheon will be held on October 29, <br />2008, and the East Hawai`i Volunteer Recognition <br />Luncheon is scheduled for November 07, 2008. <br />CSE volunteers will be contacted and informed of <br />the place and time of the event. <br /> <br />Mary Chun, CSPA and the North Hilo Volunteers. <br /> <br />South Hilo Volunteers and the East Hawai`i Staff. <br /> <br />Kupuna News 3 October- December 2008 <br />
