Guam - The Department of Public Health is now urging individuals 60 years and above to register for the "Man'amko Breakfast Card." Senior Citizens Administrator Arthur San Agustin says they received $162,500 in stimulus funds to expand the Congregate Breakfast and Nutrition Program for seniors.

Residents can register at their respective village senior centers. San Agustin says man'amko will be allowed to use their card at the Seafood Chef Restaurant in Tamuning beginning April 19.  "In doing so, what we've created for 2010 because we have to spend the fund by September 30, 2010, is we put forth a man'akmo breakfast card program."
