This year, on August 1, our neighborhood’s “National Night Out” celebration will have extra meaning, as the West End Arts Council, working with artist Bill Christman, are planning to dedicate a new drinking fountain at Greg Freeman Four Corners Park.
The fountain is being installed in memory of the late Laure Porterfield, who had served as Executive Director of SDCC. Alderwoman Lyda Krewson has also agreed to spiff up the park, replacing benches, etc.
The Parks Dept. has been a part of the planning process (a tip of the hat to Dan Skillman, the excellent head of the Parks Department) and is helping by installing the fountain. Katrina Steirholz, president of Rosedale Neighbors, is helping to raise about $2,500 to cover the cost of the fountain and artwork and a brass plaque to dedicate to Laure, as the fountain will represent the neighborhood’s appreciation for all the work she did. For more information or to make a donation, contact Katrina or SDCC at 862- 5122.
