Four years ago Pa‘auilo lost its gathering place in the October 15, 2006 earthquake which rocked the Big Island but on Saturday (Jan 15) they got it back.
The 2006 quake devastated the Pa‘auilo Annex, next to the gym, which served as a community center for seniors, youngsters, staff and everyone who came to the facility. After years of repairs the annex once again opened with tributes honoring those who have made the gym and annex a safe place to recreate and share life in.
Entertainment, a blessing and lunch capped the day with the crowd of mostly senior citizens enjoying their community home once again.
