Members of the Rosedale Neighborhood Association and the Washington Heights Neighbors organizations gathered for partying and dancing on January 17 at St. Roch’s Scariot Hall. The joint social event was sponsored by the two groups to promote increased contacts between members living in different parts of the Skinker-DeBaliviere area. Live music of a progressive, Kentonesque style was provided by the Jim Willman Trio. The hors d’oeuvres were provided on a potluck basis by the neighbors.
A group of students visiting the neighborhood from Gustavus Adolphus College in Minnesota were guests at the party.
While not meant to be a fund raiser, the party did manage to show a modest profit of about $100, which will shared equally by the two neighborhood groups. But the principal success was social not financial, and people there spoke eagerly of planning a similar event next year, or perhaps sooner.
