Annual Senior Companion Recognition Luncheon <br />This year for the Senior Companion Recognition Luncheon we journeyed down to the lower Puna district to explore the historic <br />town of Pāhoa. Volunteers and staff first gathered at the Pāhoa Town <br />Museum to walk through the history exhibit and enjoyed a relaxed atmosphere of coffee and tea (and some had ice cream for <br />breakfast!) The group then went a few blocks through the town of Pāhoa to have lunch at Kaleo’s Restaurant. We were joined <br />by Suzanne Hull, Director of the Senior Companion Program, who flew in from Honolulu with fellow staff member Alex Rodero. <br />Also joining the group were Roann Okamura, EAD Director and Coran Kitaoka, EAD Deputy Director. The food was wonderful <br />and each volunteer received a certificate of appreciation and a new resource folder from Suzanne. The event was topped off with <br />a delicious haupia MAHALO cake. <br /> <br />Back row L-R: Terry Saito, Darlette Miguel, Linda Eblacas, Tom Hennema, Adoracion Agregado, Edith Miller, Violet Loo, <br />Odetta Peralta, Shanna Moore, Pilar Asia, Tim Hansen, Roann Okamura, Christine Namahoe-Loo, Suzanne Hull, Junie-Ann Kamoku, <br />Coran Kitaoka.
