On September 10th, a group of residents met at the Community Council Office to discuss the reorganization of the Residential Service.
For the last two years, the Residential Service has been dormant due to the increased activity by established real estate firms in the Skinker-DeBaliviere Neighborhood. Nevertheless, the newly recruited volunteers strongly believe that there is a special role which the Residential Service can play in the continuing efforts to upgrade our neighborhood.
The Residential Service hopes to initiate a program of activities designed to increase community awareness for real estate activities in the SkinkerDeBaliviere Neighborhood.
These activities include: (1) serving as a welcoming committee for new residents; (2) compiling and maintaining an accurate listing of properties for sale in the neighborhood; (3) developing a new informational and marketing brochure about our neighborhood.
The Residential Service believes that these activities will assist the neighborhood organizations and block units in their efforts to improve the community.
Of course, the Residential Service will only be effective if it is supported by neighborhood volunteers. Six residents, who have already volunteered to work on the steering committee of the Residential Service include Margie Brammeier, Nancy Cohen, Delores Hoefel, Joe Simmons, John Thomas, and Lori Wittcoff.
The Residential Service hopes to attract additional volunteers as word of its activities spreads throughout the neighborhood. Anyone who is interested in volunteering should call Skip Coburn at 862-5122.
