The quarterly general meeting of Rosedale Neighborhood Association was held on Friday, March 31, at St. Roch’s Scariot Hall. The meeting was very well attended by residents of Rosedale, as well as various officials and some new neighborhood luminaries.
Alderman Schoemehl introduced our newest area businessman and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Steve Brammeier. Mr. Brammeier is a veternarian who will be opening an office at the site of the closed Shell station on Skinker and Kingsbury. The prospect of such a needed service produced a warm reception for the Brammeiers, and we hope they will enjoy success in their venture as well. They are welcomed by all of us.
Of considerable interest to those attending was the appearance of two officers from Team One, who answered questions and discussed the crime picture in our area. The time and interest taken by Officers Kelly and Hormsby were most appreciated, and RNA plans to sponsor another such discussion at our next meeting, if possible. We were glad to hear that the incidence of street crime, as well as that of burglary, is down and that the vigilance of Team One continues to deter such crime.
Alderman Schoemehl and SDCC Director Cal Stuart also answered questions concerning various activities in the area and the city as a whole, including the Alley Clean-Up, to be followed by concentrated sanitation inspections. There was also an update given on the Historic District Ordinance.
We were happy to introduce Ms. Michael Hermann, who is the newly chosen Coordinator of the Community School.
Treasurer Tom Hoerr reported a balance of $290.00. nearly all of which is owed for trees to be planted this spring on Washington. Fund-raising efforts will be discussed at upcoming executive committee meetings, and, of course, we hope that everyone will support the Men’s Liberation Cake Sale at the Art Fair.
