Betty Klinefelter, a neighbor who has provided an exceptional example of achievement and dedication to her church and community, is moving to Santa Fe, New Mexico, on September 1.

She will be living with her daughter, Karen.

A reception in her honor was held at Grace Methodist Church on Sunday, August 27. Many of her friends and colleagues were there to say how much she has done and has meant to so many generations of people. Betty has been in Scouting, both with Cub Pack 31 and with Senior Girl Scouts, for decades, providing leadership and inspiration to many who are no longer young in our community and beyond.

Her work at the Grace Pre-School has endeared her to children and parents alike.

In addition to her many activies in our little community, she was active across the city.

When she ran for the School Board in 1977, she won a seat easily.

She is known throughout the City as a person of integrity and commitment. Early in her life, Betty learned to fly airplanes and she has been flying in everything she has tackled ever since.

We wish her the happiest of times in the future.

Her new address will be: 1882 C Calle Quedo Santa Fe, New Mexico 87505 Roy Roncal, past president of Rosedale, is serving as co-chair of the Arts Commandos.

The Commandos were organized by the Regional Arts Commission and serve as volunteers at many cultural events and provide assistance to arts institutions. By the way, it’s also time to congratulate the Regional Arts Commission and executive director Jill McGuire on their 10th anniversary of supporting the arts in the St. Louis area. Librarian Charles Lamkin reports that our Charing Cross branch on Skinker has greatly increased its fiction holdings, including many best-sellers! Two participants in the summer reading club at Charing Cross won prizes in the grand drawing this summer. Maddelyn Vanicelli and Hillary Clampett became owners of portable AM/FM cassette players.
