Also, please go to www.envisionlaie.com and have each of your family members and friends submit a positive comment by clicking on the link there.  It will go to the city and be counted as part of the community input they are collecting on the plan.  While on the website, you can also sign up to receive the newsletter that goes out regularly to keep our supporters fully updated. Mahalo!
