The third annual Holiday Open House for Seventh District police officers and firefighters from the DeBaliviere station house will be held Thursday, December 18th, from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council offices, 6008 Kingsbury.
For the second year in a row, Mrs. Betty Newsham, longtime resident of Skinker DeBaliviere, has agreed to chair the event.
She will be joined this year by co-chairperson Ruth Johnson, a member of the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council Board of Directors arid resident of Kingsbury Square. Neighborhood support for the Open House has guaranteed its success. You are invited to bring a covered dish to be served to our many guests – chili was a big success last year, but vegetables, fruit and salads, as well as other side items are also welcome. Holiday bakers: your contributions of baked goods are especially welcome! Cookies, cakes, brownies, and pies graced last year’s table and were eagerly consumed.
All neighbors are welcome to stop by and share a few moments of camaraderie with the men and women who keep our neighborhood – and our families – safe throughout the year. Volunteers are needed to help throughout the day and to help clean up at the party’s end. Food drop-off will begin at 8:00 a.m. on the day of the party. Neighbors are urged to stop by during the day for lunch, a snack or just to say hello.
For more details or to volunteer, contact your block captain or the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council office at 862-5122.
