ALOHA LITO!
Our good friend, Lito Asuncion, accepted a position with the Kaua‘i Agency on Elderly
Affairs in January. For many years, Lito was a Program Planner with the Hawai‘i County
Office of Aging, and was the designated monitor for the Nutrition Program.
Lito has a Master’s Degree in Public Health, and used his expertise to make helpful
recommendations for our program, and also made sure that we met our Federal and
State contract requirements for both our meal sites and Meals on Wheels.
In his new job, Lito will be monitoring community programs on the Garden Island.
We wish him well.
