REVISED We have realized that many may need a time to "recharge", Esp before and after work
So we thought 'Why not have an open house?'
We can offer hot coffee, lilikoi lemonade, electricity, Internet, antennae TV, warm showers BBQ grills, ice blocks to go & power... Well what better excuse is needed?
These will potluck type, but understand some are not able to bring stuff, chairs if can... there should still be enough-
Our house is in Keaau town, corner of Milo & Ohe, directly down from the Puna Hongwanji
Add
Come if you can, POSTING BELOW IF YOU MIGHT ATTEND WILL HELP W/ PLANS, but we totally get if you just show up...
As most know, the house isn't finished
We do ask that there is no smoking & nothing illegal on our property..

There were four of us, 2 showers for those without power (one HPP & one HB/HP/HS/HSRE resident), computers fired up & internet used.. a nice dinner group, & ice blocks sent down to share with neighbors, everyone headed back before the dark so not to travel down those roads at night...
WE STILL HAVE ~10-20# ICE BLOCKS, if anyone needs - esp tonight

Carey,
Thank you so much for this offer, it made us feel a little bit less alone in our little Nanawale destruction zone. We had planned on coming by yesterday but ended up working for far too long on our debris-strewn yard. Thank you for being so kind and letting people (like us!) know they aren't alone in all this mess.
Mahalo,
Allison & Josh
Cheers

Carey, THANK YOU for sharing your home comforts with our Puna people! God bless you plentiful for this. I moved off the island three weeks ago and am trying to send information via my cell to my dear friends from my church in Pahoa. I let one woman know about your ice. She, like so many others, are desperate for ice right now. I gave her your number (hope that is okay)and she might give you a call.
I wish I could do more from here. I have been resending all the help information from here in Alabama to the people I know who have no power, water, communications except cell phone. I have texted them all with information. If I can do anything else, please let me know.
And to Punatalk. Much Mahalo for putting the information on here!!! [8D]

Yes it is OK to share, we are trying to help as many as need, without going into the areas that do not need any extra vehicles....
You're the best Carey, wish I had seen this, I would have come say hi!
