The executive board of the Rosedale-Skinker-Improvement Association met Tuesday, March 13, 1973 to discuss new business to be presented to the full membership at the March 29 general meeting.
Primary consideration was given to discussing moneyraising projects to pay the $440.00 bill owed to Union Electric as of March 5, 1973. Three such proposals were devised: first, an immediate membership drive; second, a cake and coffee sale to be conducted by Rosedale-Skinker men at the neighborhood Art Fair; third, a pot-luck dinner with a $2.00 admission charge for the annual election dinner meeting to be held May 19, 1973.
A proposition to change the name of the organization from “Rosedale-Skinker” to “Skinker-DesPeres” will also be presented at the March 29 meeting, as will a plan to clean and landscape two vacant lots — one in the 6000 block of Kingsbury; the other in the 6000 block of Westminster.
