Kitty and Mike Buckley, 6055 Westminster, have received the first Skinker-DeBaliviere Home Improvement Award which was presented to them at the Four Corners Concert on Sunday, September 20.
The award is sponsored by the Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council and Central West End Savings and Loan.
The Buckleys received an engraved plaque and a $50 Passbook Savings Account at Central West End Savings.
The purpose of this award is to instill pride and interest in the Skinker-DeBaliviere Neighborhood, and to recognize the efforts of individuals who have made exterior improvements to their property which have visually enhanced the appearance of the neighborhood.
The Buckleys were selected after nominations were received by the Neighborhood Home Improvement Committee. Members of the Committee are Joe Botz, Anna Busch, Sam Green, Beverly Taylor, and Linda Thomas.
The Award will be given three times a year; in the fall, winter and spring: Properties can be re-nominated, and Committee members are happy to accept nominations. Only exterior improvements of a ‘property are considered and there must be some degree of visibility to the improvements.
The improvements can be to a house or apartment, may be recent or longstanding, and can include landscaping. Committee members can nominate recipients in any part of the neighborhood.
Congratulations to Kitty and Mike Buckley for consistently adding to the beauty of the Skinker-DeBaliviere neighborhood.
