Historical February 1985 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
At the end of February, Ann FitzGibbons will leave her post as executive director of Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council.
Her two years as director have been busy and fruitful.
Her accomplishments have included organizing the successful fund-raising event on the Huck Finn Riverboat last October, as well as several other special events, many of which were conducted with an eye to the arts—her other love. West End Arts Council, another of her activities, will carry on in the neighborhood.
The revitalization of the Skinker-DeBaliviere Businessmen’s Association was a major goal for Ann, a goal she realized with a steady growth in membership and activity.
The association now has regular meetings, a busy agenda, and even a representative to the council: Cal Stuart.
The Skinker DeBaliviere Christmas Walk, conducted for the past 3 years as a part of Neighborhood Marketing Services’ House of the Month campaign, is another of the activities Ann has managed so well—along with such regular activities as Operation Brightside regional chairmanship!
A working pregnancy and the birth of son Sean was another achievement during Ann’s first year as director. Working closely with neighbors and funding institutions, she has proved a truly effective spokesperson for Skinker-DeBaliviere.
We wish her and her family well as they trek to the great northern climes.
