The Maui County Planning and Coordinating Council of kupuna clubs met on Oct. 11 for the first time since the Aug. 8 wildfires and were introduced to Maui Economic Opportunity's new P&CC coordinator, Virginia Chapman.
About 30 leaders of kupuna clubs gathered at MEO in Wailuku along with a handful via livestream for the meeting.
The council, made up of leaders from more than 50 senior clubs countywide, canceled meetings in August and September due to the tragedy.
Lianne Peros-Busch and Jaimie Dukelow of the MEO Business Development Center gave a presentation on scams and fraud. Officers were nominated for next year with voting to take place at the next meeting.
Chapman started her position earlier this month. Prior to joining MEO, she worked for about eight years with the Maui County Office on Aging and 17 years in the rental car industry with Dollar Car Rental. She is a mother of two and grandmother of eight.
