Main Street Pahoa kicks off new year
Friday, March 30, 2007 at 02:16PM All that was left of my flu by Wednesday was a little congestion and a lingering cough, allowing me to attend the annual meeting of the Main Street Pahoa Association. Hoping there's no relapse associated with this, I’m back working at about 90-95 percent and very relieved that the worst of it lasted only three days.
The MSPA meeting was well-attended with energetic and civic-minded people, including Councilwoman Emily Naeole and her staff, Mayor Kim’s aide Andy Levin and Puna Community Police Officer John Briski.
Members elected a new 10-member board, including Lawrence Pedro, Fred Blas, Ginny Aste, Maddy Green, Luanna Jones, Shawn Heard, Laurie Lloyd-Roberts, Mike Hale and Kuulani Rosario. Rob Tucker was re-elected president.
Project discussions included the annual MSPA-sponsored Christmas Parade, Pahoa park planning, lobbying the county for a sidewalk along old Government Road from downtown to Malama Market, participation in the Puna Community Development Plan, and postal service improvements.
I took the opportunity to join and support the efforts. You can too. For more info, check out the latest MSPA newsletter.
