Once again, it falls to the residents of Skinker DeBaliviere to help bridge the gap in funding for the Council office and programs via a number of neighborhood-wide events. Under the leadership of Katrina Stierholz, the Council’s fundraisers plan to bring our neighbors the Breakfast Garden Tour in June; a series of fund-raising activities as part of the National Night Out celebrations (this year set for August 11; the ever-popular Rags to Riches, co-sponsored with the Rosedale Neighbors Association on Saturday, August 26th; a new event – an adult spelling bee and chili cook-off, brainchild of Amy Gill, to be held in September or October; and, now that fundraising for the playground is winding down, a return to the ever-popular Friends of Skinker DeBaliviere Campaign, chaired this year by Linda Cross. Year 2000 fundraising and special event activities promise to be fresh, exciting and different. Their will be time to celebrate our successes during groundbreaking and ribbon-cutting ceremonies for the Playground; opportunities to come together at parties in the homes of generous supporters and in the public space of Four Corners Park, along with many other surprises along the way.
If you are interested in participating in the Council and its many special event activities, please contact Laure Porterfield at 862-5122. Your talents, your participation and your support are welcome, needed and invited.
