I attended a blessing for the Old Pahoa Fire Station as it transitions into a Senior Center.
About eighty people attended including Mayor Kenoi, Councilwoman Naeole-Beason, Faye Hanohano who shared the limelight for the new
center.
I think that a Senior Center is a very good purpose for the building. It is well located and promises now expanded programs. I assume some time in preparation will be required and the usual search for funding.
All citizens should take interest in this progress. As was pointed out in the blessing: If we are lucky we will all be among the seniors making use of this space.
Special Mahalo to Toby Hazel for her work on this. I am sorry I cannot remember the others who labored with her on the center.

Assume the best and ask questions.
