June 2nd... 8am... Coffeetime

We hope you can join us for our monthly informal coffeetime together as neighbors in the general Clay Terrace area.

We meet on the FIRST Saturday of each month, 8am... at the Paradise Bakery. Some of us bring wireless laptops and are kind of geeky, while the others bring smiles and inspirational thoughts. Point is, to enjoy sharing life together here in our neighborhood area.

You'd fit right in.

Coffeetime... Sat., May 5th... 8am

Just a quick reminder -- It's coffeetime for any neighbors who'd like to get to know others here in the general Clay Terrace neighborhood area. Everyone welcome...

...this Saturday (5/5/2007)... 8am at Paradise Bakery.

A Sign of Thanks...

[Reminder... anyone can add pictures to the ClayTerrace collection of photos -- Just tag your photos with 'clayterrace'. Want help? Come to the 'First Saturday's Coffeetime'.]



We just wanted to post this as a special thanks to David Klingensmith, our Carmel Street Commissioner... for adding this sign recently.



It has now greatly reduced the unnecessarily traffic coming into our subdivision... (not to mention, our driveways).

Our children thank you, Mr. Klingensmith for making the subdivision safer as a result.

Van Go...

Recognize any of these 'Katrina' painters from our neighborhood?

So if you have questions about digital cameras or how to get your pictures onto the web to share at the #1 website... Flickr.com... Saturday will be a great day to ask.

Or better yet, also come be with us and help-out down at the Unleavened Bread Cafe... noon til 2pm as we do the full presentation & training.

"So You Wanna Be In Pictures?" -- Flickr training. Learn how to get your digital photos onto your computer, edit them and/or uploaded to the internet (free & easy), so you easily share them with your friends & neighbors.
