Dear Council Chairperson Arakaki and Council:
Our program will, once again, organize a Senior Citizens Health Fair in 1999. We are planning two
fairs, one in West Hawaii on May 5 and East Hawaii on November 19 and hope to service more people if we
divide the island in two. West Hawaii's Health Fair will take care of seniors from Hawaiian Oceanview to North
and South Kohala and East Hawaii from Honokaa to Naalehu.
It was a tremendous help for the seniors to have their transportation subsidized by County funding last
year. Transportation is our biggest problem in all the events that we plan for our seniors. We are asking for
your council's support and approval to subsidize the transportation cost so we can bring in as many seniors as
possible to this valuable and much requested for Health Fairs We anticipate the use of three buses for each of
the events and the average cost per bus is $575.00.
The senior citizens and the Elderly program thanks all of you for your kind consideration and look
forward to your favorable and positive response. If you have any questions, please feel free to call Laverne at
322 -1812 or call Harold at 961 -8777.
Sincerely,
Harold Bugado
