The Messenger

A Brief History

First was the Community Star, a newsletter that grew out of the neighborhood activism of the 1970s, produced by volunteers and hand delivered by a network of Block Captains, neighbor to neighbor. It was succeeded by the Candler Park Messenger, the print publication of the Candler Park Neighborhood Organization (CPNO), which began in 1989 and likewise depended on a network of volunteers for distribution. In 2014 KDA Publications offered to print the Messenger at no cost to CPNO and pay for the US Postal Service to distribute copies of the Messenger to all addresses in Candler Park, an offer too good to refuse. However, KDA Publications found this business model (printing and distributing several neighborhoods newsletters with income generated by paid advertisements) no longer viable. The last Messenger produced by KDA was January 2024 (the first had been October 2014). What will happen next is as of now (January 2024) uncertain – click or tap here for an article from the editor – but for the foreseeable future the Messenger content will move onto our website.

Many thanks to Jeannie Richardson who supplied the issues we have for 1995 and 1998 through 2006.
