It was wonderful to see the I Love Kailua Town Party stories in the Windward Islander<\/I>, and the photos and caption that ran May 9.<\/p>\n
How we wish we could have made $100,000 this year for our Lani-Kailua Outdoor Circle beautification projects! Unfortunately, after expenses and the ever-present taxes, we will have only about $10,000 to $12,000 to spend on our projects to beautify Kailua.<\/p>\n
It takes many years to accumulate enough money to finance a beautification project. Our latest projects – refurbishment of Kalapawai Triangle and new plantings at Pali Palms Triangle – were done at a cost of nearly $50,000 each. Although these are public areas, they were not financed by the City, but solely by funds accumulated over the years by the LKOC’s fundraisers, mainly the I Love Kailua Town Party.<\/p>\n
We have presented this fundraiser to benefit the Kailua community for 20 years. We want to thank our many friends, cooperating merchants and community organizations for their help – it’s truly a community event! And, of course, we welcome new members who want to help us in our mission of “Keeping Kailua Clean, Green and Beautiful.”<\/p>\n
