September 24, 1990 To the Editor: Well another beginning of autumn, another changing of season, another marker of a year gone by.
Another year of life in the Rosedale neighborhood.
Many changes have occurred, we have lost friends and acquainted new ones, good neighbors have left and some have returned.
We bid farewell to those who have moved on and welcome openly those who have moved in.
With the many changes that occur in the fall, one notices those things that remain the same.
And in the Rosedale neighborhood those constants are good and bad.
The annual Rags to Riches is one constant we all seem to look forward to, experience and participate in.
As a service to the overall Skinker DeBaliviere neighborhood we see this constant as an advantage. Unfortunately it has its disadvantages. Disadvantages such as some neighbors who believe they have a right to cheat the neighborhood and in so doing cheating their neighbors, cheating them of benefits of being in this neighborhood that most of us enjoy and respect.
As president of the Rosedale Neighborhood Association I wish not only to condemn those who cheat their neighbors, and those who refuse to lend a hand to the Associations in its efforts to provide a service to its neighbors, but also to commend those reliable members of the neighborhood who helped make Rags to Riches as successful as it was. Those wonderful people who help by offering baked goods, help by having yard sales, help by manning our sale booth, help by lending us the usage of their property, help by passing out our fliers, help by looking over a hot barbecue pit and those ever reliable members of the Board who help by setting up and taking down our booth. Thank you to all of you who helped and always seem to be there when the neighborhood needs you. B. Roy Roncal President Rosedale Neighborhood Association
