	Annual Party in the Park – September 26, 2010, 4:00-6:00 at CDM Park. Please join us for some fun, music & burgers by In N Out burger. You can mail your payment to PO Box 1585, PP, CA 90272 ahead of time or pay when you arrive ($6 per person).

	Movies in the Park - During the month of August, the Movies in the Park will be playing every Saturday night. This event is free so everyone should come and enjoy.

	Wild Animals in our neighborhood- There has recently been a lot of sightings of mainly coyotes and skunks in our neighborhood. If a coyote approaches you; wave your arms, shout in a low, loud tone, throw objects at the coyote while maintaining eye contact. Make yourself look as big as possible. If you are wearing a jacket, open it up like a cape. If possible, go towards active or populated areas but do not turn your back on the coyote. There are several websites you can visit for more information on this and how to deter wild animals from your home humanely. We are in the process of adding the links for you to be able to easily access the sites. Please check back for the links in a few weeks.
