Neighborhood response to the deposit pledge drive for Central West End Savings and Loan to open in the Skinker-DeBaliviere community has been very enthusiastic and supportive. Tom Scatizzi, managing officer for Central West End Savings, reports that over 950 accounts have been pledged. One thousand accounts are required for the lending institution to open. Also, the pledged deposits are more than 75% toward the required amount of two million dollars needed to open.
“We project an opening date now in late May. It is not too late to still become a charter subscriber to this first, new urban lending institution to be chartered in the St. Louis metropolitan area in twenty-five years,” Mr. Scatizzi stated.
Those interested in pledging an account can write to Central West End Savings & Loan Association, P.O. Box 8057, St. Louis, Mo. or can telephone Tom Scatizzi at 652-6316.
Marketing Director for Central West End Savings, Kathleen Hamilton, emphasized how much neighborhood support is valued and appreciated for CWE Savings and Loan to be an integral support to the west end community.
Central West End Savings and Loan will be located in the historic Dorr and Zeller building on DeBaliviere at Waterman.
