We were happy to see so many friends and neighbors at the Rosedale Potluck Dinner and meeting on April 17 at St. Roch’s Church Hall.
A delicious assortment of dishes provided by those attending made a grand feast for dinner and the meeting was interesting and informative as usual.
Some of the topics discussed were the Operation Brightside’s Project Blitz weekend which will be happening here May 12 and the Rosedale Rags-to-Riches sale which will be held on June 9. Alderman Dan McGuire was on hand to answer questions and concerns about the new street barricades (or lack thereof) which are a part of Operation Safestreet. Watch for flyers concerning the next Rosedale meeting at which the nomination of officers will be taken.
Congratulations to neighbor Candace O’Connor, 6100 Kingsbury, for her cover story on Bruce Selkirk in the March issue of St. Louis Magazine. Candace is a freelance writer whose work has appeared in various publications.
Congratulations also go to Ramona Stelford who received her M.B.A. degree in finance from Washington University in December. Ramona is now employed by General Dynamics as the Corporate Network Financial Manager. Ramona and her husband, Alan Mense, recently moved from their home in 6000 Washington to the 6000 block of Kingsbury. Katie Kurtz, 6000 Washington, is pursuing a new career. Katie, who was formerly with Landmarks Association of St. Louis for seven years, is now working in real estate with Feinberg Real Estate Co. Neighbors were happy to see Melvin Westbrook, 6100 Westminster, return home recently from a rather lengthy stay in the hospital.
We hope he is now on the road to a speedy recovery. Hitch and Mary Powell, 6100 Westminster, were lucky enough to spend an early spring vacation at Lake Tahoe skiing and sunning.
They especially enjoyed Squaw Valley.
The time has arrived to start thinking about turning over that little patch of dirt and planting those vegetables! Hope you can find a few dry days in which to get it done. We’re looking forward to seeing lots of you on the streets and sidewalks. We’d love to help you share any news in your family or on your block.
