The January meeting of the WHN Board looked back at some activities of the past year and made some plans for the New Year. The-joint social sponsored by WHN and Rosedale Neighborhood Assn. on December 14 at St. Roch’s, while not a financial success, brought together residents of both areas of the Skinker-DeBaliviere community. Hopefully we will plan other activities together. Reports on the progress (and sometimes the lack of it) of the Manpower proposals and SDCC’s Community Development Proposal for a housing rehabilitation program were discussed. For 1975, the Board hopes to build more neighborhood involvement. First, by getting more residents to take an active part in planning and participation in the Art Fair, and secondly, by creating more community awareness of the ways individuals, families, and blocks can work to improve the neighborhood for everyone. More specific ways of involvement will be discussed at the next Board meeting, Feb. 13 at 7:30 p.m. in the SDCC’s office at 6008 Kingsbury. Mike Magrath, WHN Board Pres. or your block chairman will welcome any calls from volunteers.
