Here are some photos from the block party on Josephine St this past Saturday.  It was a huge success!

Boy howdy, it is steamy outside. What to do? Here's an idea: grab a cool beverage, turn on a fan, and curl up with the August Messenger. Enjoy!

We hope you can make it.

If you went to last night's Candler Park Screen on the Green, and you took some pics, we want to hear from you. Please send an email with a link to your photos so we can post some here and also put them on the Candler Park Flickr site.

Tonight we rolled out some new functionality on candlerpark.org: a Candler Park message board. You can also get to it from the global navigation, up at the top of the page next to the contact link.

The board can be used to post announcements or events, to talk about childcare or other parent issues, to alert people about crimes, to request contractor referrals, whatever. You've gotta be a registered, logged in user to post, but everyone can read.

Check it out and let us know if you run into any glitches or have any suggested improvements.
