I was talking with one of my neighbors this evening about having a block party or something similar... and we discussed perhaps having this on Tuesday, August 3 in conjunction with National Night Out. Jan Stayianos mentioned this in her "Block Watch" column in the July HPCC newsletter that went to everyone in the neighborhood. If you live on Portland Street or Bryant Street near there and are interested in participating in (or organizing :-) such an event--please reply to me. I will gladly hand responsibility for organizing this to someone else :-) I encourage other "blocks" to organize parties for August 3. If you are interested in organizing something for your block, please let me know what your "block" is so I can send your email address to your neighbors to help organize. Rudy
