Kilauea board approves $700 neighborhood mailer to reach ZIP 96754 residents

The Kilauea Neighborhood Association voted unanimously to approve a $700 expenditure to send an informational flyer to every address in ZIP code 96754.

Tom Pickett presented options for the outreach item, saying the choices ranged from a one-page flyer to a letter-and-postcard package. Packing and postage estimates to reach 2,104 addresses were quoted at about $385 for postage (at $0.183 per piece) and roughly $315 for printing and folding; the board selected the simpler, lower-cost flyer. The motion to approve the $700 allocation was made by Gary Pacheco and seconded by Ken Carlson.

The board discussed using the outreach to promote the KNA blog and local businesses and to connect the group's existing contact list (about 800 contacts) to online updates. Tom Pickett asked members to provide content suggestions and business-listing input for the KNA website.
