I got this on the Fern Acres listserve, but it's of interest to us,
too!
Aloha ka kou!
There was a very exciting meeting at the Mountain View Gym yesterday evening!
There, we met with members of The Neighborhood Place of Puna, Hawai`i County Parks and Recreation,
Wai Ola School, Queen Liliuokalani Children's Trust, Brittany Smart's office, and a number of members from PCDP
(Puna Community Development Plan) and the PCDP Action Committee as well as members from a number of
upper Puna subdivisions and Mountain View Village.
We were all there to discuss the very real probability that we could have a state of the art, new playground built, with
a major portion of the cost borne by a 'benefactor'! Estimated costs for the playground is a staggering $200,000.00
-with only $8500.00 required from the community in terms of site prep and foundation work.
All or most of this money can and will come from grants and money available from Community resources.
The meeting was a presentation and discussion of the proposal from KaBoom - a playground supplier.
They had heard in the news about the Community support around the rennovations of the gym and had contacted
NPOP to see if we were interested in getting a playground. NPOP will be the lead community organization to get
the playground project rolling -but they need our help.
A Committee was formed to work with Hawai`i County Parks and Recreation to establish a non-profit
'Friends Of Mountain View Park' who will work with NPOP and Parks and Recreation to move the project
through to completion and thereafter. The next meeting will be Monday, March 5th at 5:00 at the gym.
Please come to the meeting and support and participate in this exciting project for our community!
Now, here's our part... NPOP will be submitting a request to KaBoom this next week and is seeking support letters from the community,
indicating that we want a playground.
If you could, please take a few moments to send a letter of support to Paul Normann, Executive Director of The Neighborhood Place of Puna.
It can be a simple letter indicationg your support for a playground at the gym. Paul's e-mail is: pa...@neighborhoodplaceofpuna.org
Could you write a quick letter right now and send it on to Paul? The proposal is going out this week!
Mahalo nui loa!
