I should have added this... if you are not here, and thinking "well, I'm going to get involved when I move... my question is this " Why are you not involved now, where you are?" Many of the same things that might keep you from getting involved there are here.... It would at least be a good practice, & will let you see if that is something that you really want to do... If you don't want to get involved... how much are you willing to give up?
Let's see... I gave up a State job of 10 years over on Oahu to move home.
The reason I never got involved on Oahu... is I hate Politics.
The reason I'm getting involved now that I'm back home... Is I want a better future for Puna and in particular my son...and future grandkids.
What I have given up... well quite a bit of money... a bit of independence, and a whole lot of craziness on Oahu!
It's much easier to become involved in smaller communities such as Puna then it is in bigger communities.
I just wish more of us cared about the future of Puna.
I know you care Carey[:X] cause you are getting involved.[]
