Mahalo Maile Marquez <br /> <br /> <br />Welcome Aboard Jodie Torres! <br />A warm welcome to Jodie Torres, Coordinated Service’s Kohala Community Service Program Assistant <br />who started working with CSE in March. <br /> <br />Jodie was born on O‘ahu, the eldest of three sisters. She moved to the Big Island in 1984 with her mother <br />and sisters. She attended Kamehameha Schools on O‘ahu; in 1991 she moved back to the Big Island and <br />graduated from Kohala High School. <br /> <br />Jodie also attended UH West Hawai‘i where she studied Human Services. She has worked for Dr. Patrick Sui’s <br />office in Kohala and more recently, Kohala Family Health Center before she joined the CSE team. <br /> <br />Jodie is married to James Torres and they have three children, Britney, Brayden and Brennan. She loves working <br />with and helping people. She finds assisting the Kupuna of Kohala rewarding. <br /> <br />Please stop by the Kohala CSE office and welcome her to the CSE team! <br /> <br /> <br />Mahalo Maile Marquez <br />Much Mahalo to Maile Marquez for all of her help in Kohala. Maile has been such a blessing to CSE and the Kupuna <br />of Kohala when the Kohala CSE Community Service Program Assistant position was vacant. <br /> <br />Maile worked with Coordinated Services for 26 years and retired in May 2007. As she reflected, over the years, she <br />remembers the changes in the operations of CSE. Improved newer vans, a better system of communication (from old <br />radios to two way radios to today’s van radios). <br /> <br />Even in her retirement, Maile has helped CSE when we were in a bind. She volunteers with Kupuna Hula and has assisted <br />CSE with medical transporting. <br /> <br />Maile is enjoying her retirement catching up with things she has put aside over the years. She enjoys spending time with <br />her husband and taking care of her great grand children. <br /> <br />Thank You Maile! You are an angel! <br /> <br /> <br />Kupuna News Page 2 Information and Assistance (808) 961-8777
