Historical February 1988 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
If you’ve ever wondered what events shaped nearby Forest Park, last November’s potluck dinner and general meeting of the Rosedale Neighborhood Association was the place to be. Caroline Laughlin of Forest Park Forever gave an entertaining and informative slide lecture of the park’s past, present and bright future.
The question and answer period could have gone on all night.
Thanks to all who came.
At one time the RNA was supported in part by annual membership dues. Collection of the dues eventually became unworkable and was dropped.
We now maintain that any resident of Rosedale is automatically an RNA member. Still, we do receive donations from time to time.
To mark this extra generosity, a vote at the general meeting established the position of “contributing member” for RNA residents who contribute five dollars or more during a calendar year. Contributing members will receive special recognition in The Times. RNA officers and Nancy Farmer of the Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council have assembled a “New Neighbor” information package for free distribution. Several dozen have already been distributed, including copies to land lords and management companies. Forward the name and address of your new neighbors to an RNA officer or SDCC (862-5122) and we’ll send a package.
Coming in May will be the election of new RNA officers.
All positions are open for nominations: President, First and Second Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, North Side Representative and Alternate, and South Side Representative and Alternate.
Please contact SDCC if you are interested. Don’t be bashful!
Our next general meeting will be in March. Hope to see you there.
