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.

From Allison Troxell: DIY Network is casting families in the Atlanta area for its new series: Mega Dens!  This is a show where family rooms or under-used spaces get a much needed makeover......but this ain't your mother's makeover show! We're not talking about new TV trays and a coat of paint.  We're talking movie theater, high-end game room, wine snob's paradise, techno-geek Shangri-la, sports or music shrine, the possibilities are endless!  If you're interested or know someone who might be, please email me at marygrace@picturewindow.tv and I'll send you more information.
 

From the L5P Business Association email newsletter:

Please come and see what all of the fuss is about with the new leadership of Little 5!

Come share in the joy and awesomeness of your business community in action.

The next meeting of the L5P Business Association is Wednesday, July 28th at 10:00am in the basement of Sevananda. (last email said a different date, this is the correct date and time).

Bring your checkbook to join up, donate to the Mini Precinct and/or the Halloween Festival....

Please set your calendars, blackberries, and crows to remind you.

Yours in service,

Matt "New Prez" Davis,
Scott "Not Afraid To Get His Hands Dirty" Pendergrast
Brian "Baj" Stevens

From Michelle Hughes:

Epworth UMC is proud to announce that Mr. Michael of The Learning Groove will be offering his wildly popular music classes to the public here at Epworth! You can register for a class at Epworth through here: www.michaellevine.net.

Students of Epworth Day School get their own classes with Mr. Michael, too! The Day School school is currently enrolling and serves students ages 16m to 5yrs. EDS offers Candler Park's only Pre-K class!

This is a post about two of my favorite things: Candler Park Market and beer. Mix them together for a winning combination. But you knew that already.

I do have a point, though, if a beer recommendation qualifies as a point. It's a new beer that Candler Park Market carries, the Dogfish Head Festina Peche, and yes, it involved peaches. But wait! It's not peachy in a gross, sweet, wine coolery kind of way. It's peachy in a "tastes like summer" kind of way. I got some yesterday, had one last night, and am now an enthusiastic convert. You will be too. Give it a try!

Although...now I'm gonna have to race over to CPM to buy some and stockpile it before y'all beat me to it. CPM, save me some before it flies off the shelf!

From Donna Palmer: Due to overwhelming demand, the World Famous and much beloved Candler Park Water Ballet Company is proud to announce a performance of unprecedented silliness to celebrate the culmination of our third - and some say BEST - season. 

Join us at the Candler Park pool on Saturday, July 31st around 5:30.  Better yet - come early, wear your swimsuit and soak in the pool before soaking up some culture.  Admission to the pool is $2 but the performance is free!  We are Deep People in the Shallow End...

Hello everyone. The July Messenger is available here. It's a bit behind schedule this month but should be back on track next month.
