The Skinker-DeBaliviere Council office has been moved from its DeBaliviere location to 6008 Kingsbury (at the corner of Kingsbury and DesPeres). The storefront, formerly a record store, has been temporarily loaned to the Council by West End Townhouse.
Council members hope that since the new office will be located in the geographical center of the neighborhood with ample parking, residents will feel more closely associated and aware of its activities. Communication, the Council believes, should improve because the office has been relocated in a convenient location where people may walk in for help or information.
Twenty neighborhood women have volunteered to man the telephone from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Monday through Friday. The phone number :will remain the same — 862-5122. The women will answer the telephone and perform secretarial functions in the absence of a secretary and executive director. The residential service will also operate out of the Council offices.
The Council plans’ to hire a new director and secretarial help in the near future.
