SUBMIT YOUR PHOTOS
The weather was great. It was warmer, the misty rain held off until after the event, and the full-moon was covered somewhat by the clouds. Although a pitch-black evening would have been ideal to make the luminaries shine brighter, I am very happy with the turnout in my neighborhood. We were so lucky to have such great weather this weekend, compared to the previous week. I hope everyone had a wonderful time with your neighbors. I can't wait to hear stories and see photographs.
In CAFCL, there were at least three groups handing out warm cider, cocoa, tea and cookies. It was fantastic. The community churches had live nativity scenes, which excited many passer-bys. They too also offered cocoa, cider and snacks. Most especially, I was excited to see all the people out visiting neighbors and taking photographs. There were flashes seen periodically from streets away. I saw several large groups of people walking and moving in and out of the neighborhood streets. There was the feeling of electricity in the air. I hope this event touched you in some way and made you look forward to future years. It's only going to get better.
Although I wasn't able to experience the other neighborhoods festive sights, I CAN'T WAIT to see the photographs. I am eager, to say the least. If you are reading this entry and have digital photos on your camera, do me a favor and upload them now and email them to me at shareyourlightnight@yahoo.com. Don't forget to include your name, address, phone number, neighborhood where you live, and the neighborhood where the photographs were taken. With each entry, I share with you my deep appreciation in helping capture the essence of this event and how it can unite neighbors.
Thank you for participating in whatever way you were able.

Newsletters now available on the Web!
Hello Everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself and let you all know that I've finally figured out how to post our newsletters on the web so that you can view and print them.
I'm Kim and I've volunteered to handle the quarterly Newsletter. I work in Marketing and Proposals for a General Contractor, and offered to help so that I can learn new programs and play around with tools that I have. I've lived in the neighborhood off and on since I was a teenager, and my husband and I just bought our house from my parents last year. We joined the Civic League because we believe in everything it stands for, especially getting the community together to better our neighborhoods.
The Newsletter has been a fun experience so far, although a bit hectic. Please bear with me while I play around with formats and layouts that enable the CAFCL to get word out about what's going on in the League. I try my hardest to get it right (and THANK YOU to Susan and Brenda A. for proofreading), but sometimes errors will be made. I apologize for any mistakes!
With that said, the newest edition is slated to go out in the mail next week, so you should receive them during the first week of December. But just in case, I'll be posting them on the following website when they are completed and out to be mailed.
If you have any questions, comments, or ideas about the Newsletter, please drop me a line. My email address is KimMyersCAFCL@yahoo.com.
Thanks everyone!
