Four congregates at the Aging Center volunteered to form part of a committee that will work on the man’amko’s digital yearbook project.
Walter Manglona, program coordinator at the Aging Office, said that the committee is composed of four volunteers who want to share ideas on how to go about the project.
“I was just gathering information and when I called people in, there was just a few man’amko that showed up,” Manglona disclosed.
According to Manglona, the committee members do not want to make the project to be “too boring.” Instead, they want to turn it into a kind of entertainment show “where it showcases their talents and what they do” and captures their personality at the same time.
“They want to make it more a humorous/educational type of program to go around the whole yearbook idea,” Manglona told Saipan Tribune.
Manglona noted that the four-volunteer member committee is still “unofficial” as he is yet to meet with the newly elected members of the Saipan Seniors Advisory Council who can assign a subcommittee to handle the project.
“There’s so much going on. There’s a lot of ideas. This new council right now is very eager to get started,” he said.
He said their target release for the digital yearbook is by December since the man’amko don’t want to rush a “great” project.
“I want to plan it ahead where we not only give it for the man’amko but also for the community. That way, maybe they can do some kind of fundraising with the project,” said Manglona.
