Summer Block Party tomorrow!
It looks like we're getting a break from the heat for the 4th Annual Mission Palo Alto Summer Block Party -- the high is supposed to be 81°F. Don't forget, the party is tomorrow, Saturday July 12th starting around 3:00 pm in the cul-de-sac in front of units 112-115. Do note that this area will be a "no parking" zone for the afternoon and evening.
If you can help out with a grill or picnic table, please contact Andrew or Jennifer Rich at unit 116. Non-alcoholic beverages (sodas and water), plates & bowls, napkins and utensils will be provided.
Plan on bringing something to sear and something to share -- your favorite appetizer, side dish, salad or dessert! We've had some great contributions from residents in the past and we want to keep that up this year.
Once again I will be DJing the party with great music, and we'll show a movie on the big outdoor screen at dusk.
Hope to see you there!

Easy email link and announcement list
Two quick updates to the Web site:
- I've added a mailbox icon to the upper-right corner of every page on the site. Clicking that icon will take you to the mail form, from which you can easily send email to the Board, individual Board members, Property Management or committee chairs.
- There was a request at the Board meeting Wednesday night for an announcement email list which would be notified when the Web site is updated. I'm working on that and it is a bit more challenging than initially thought, but modern Web browsers can automatically receive updates to the Web site as soon as they are published by subscribing to our news feed.
