Don't Forget Tuesday!

If there was every a time to jump on a bandwagon, it's tomorrow.

Now, while Newsday's article on Sunday had a very nicely laid out time line, notice that the lease stipulations didn't seem to crop up. Did anyone else notice them? I could have skimmed past them. I'm not sure.

But it's important that you try to make an effort to show tomorrow during one of the three sessions.

If you haven't received the email from the Lighthouse group, here it is:

"A zoning hearing has been scheduled for the Lighthouse project and all
supporters are needed to attend. The hearing has been scheduled to take place on
Tuesday, September 22nd at the Adams Playhouse, on the campus of Hofstra
University. The meeting will run in two sessions. The day session will run from
9am – 5pm with a one-hour break from 1pm - 2pm. The night session is scheduled
to run from 6pm – 9pm.

This next step makes all the difference. At the
last meeting, those in attendance had the opportunity to voice their thoughts on
the environmental impact of the project. This upcoming meeting will focus on the
zoning of the entire project. Why is it important to have a multi-use
development plan at the Coliseum site? What are the benefits of smart growth?
Why does Long Island need this? This is your chance to tell Supervisor Kate
Murray and the Town Board. You may also submit your comments to the Town in
writing by clicking here, by emailing lighthousecomment@tohmail.org or sending a
letter to Lighthouse Comment, One Washington Street, Hempstead, NY 11550.

We need as strong a crowd at this hearing as we had at the last, if not
stronger. Though it may seem like one meeting doesn't matter, your presence
makes all the difference in this process. At the last hearing, the crowd spoke
volumes. The amount of people that came showed the Board that this project must
get done. We hope that the message projected at the next meeting is: this
project will get done.

Now is not the time to fade out. We have come so
far and we're getting so close to a resolution. Come to our September 22nd
zoning hearing and tell the Board why we need the Lighthouse. Your attendance
can make a difference.

So before tomorrow night's game from Kansas City, or as I like to call it, "The Last Time Kansas will Ever see the NY Islanders" please stop by Hofstra and show your support.

Thanks much. I will see you there!
