Hola Amigos!

Celebrate Cinco de Mayo by participating in our annual neighborhood yard sale on Saturday, May 5 from 8:00 am to 12:00 noon. This is concurrent with Merwood Civic Association's Garage Sale.

As in the past, everyone is welcome to participate.
You may sell from your house or from Normandy Park.

We will advertise the sale and will post a list of participating addresses
on the SABA website (www.sabanews.org). This list will be available to shoppers so that they will know the houses in the neighborhood to go to.

Addresses can be found on this link to a google map:
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=200458432587270506545.0004be8a...

If you would like to participate, please tell me if you plan to sell from the park or your home. If you are selling from your home, please give me your address so that we can include it on the list.

"Buena suerte" with the yard sale! Adios, Amigos!

Hello Neighbors,

Our flower beds at Normandy Park are looking neglected, and we would like to spruce them up for our SABA 5K (Sunday,Oct.23rd).

There are many ways to help:

1) Fall Clean Up on Saturday, Oct. 15th from 10:00-12:00 (if not raining). Bring your shovels and gardening gloves and help us pull weeds.

2) Volunteer to "Adopt a Spot"--it can be a small or big section to maintain throughout the year. Just drop Emi Lievano an email at emiliacl@mindspring.com so that she can keep track of the areas.

3) Pull a weed or two--as you walk by or play at the park.

4) Volunteer to coordinate a garden clean-up/planting with a group of friends and neighbors. This would be good for a boy or girl scout troop activity.

Your help will keep our neighborhood looking beautiful!

We can't do it without you!

Hi folks,

I rolled out a few changes on the website tonight:

1) Facebook "like" buttons on every page.

2) Support for the Open Graph protocol! This is a way to identify pages to different social media networks. For example, now that this is present, if anyone clicks on the aforementioned "like" button, a message is posted to their Facebook wall that they liked the page. Free publicity!

3) Google +1 support. This is Google's competitor to Facebook. Just as awesome.

4) A few weeks ago, I upgraded our server due to some speed issues. Here's a before and after graph of our CPU performance:

Enjoy!
