Historical November–December 2007 article. Dates, prices, services and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
Our holiday envelope, inside this issue, is for our own special cause, THE TIMES OF SKINKER-DEBALIVIERE.
This all-volunteer newspaper has been published continuously for over 37 years – it’s the “oldest neighborhood newspaper in St. Louis.” Did you know that all our writing and all our distribution of nearly 3,000 newspapers is done by volunteers? Our shoestring budget is managed very well by Business Manager Lois Schoemehl, and take a moment to see all the new contributors we’ve added, thanks to our great neighborhood volunteers. Special thanks to all of you who take the time to deliver the TIMES on your block! And this month we’re delighted to welcome two new TIMES deliverers: Sean Meara subbing for ailing Bruce Smith on the 5800 and 5900 blocks of Pershing, and Randy Vines, at the Forest Park Condos on Washington.
This year we also have several new advertisers, but also ambitious plans for archiving our past issues, plus our regular expenses for layout and printing. And, if you’d like to volunteer to help, let us know. We’ll be happy to have your writing, your photos, help with delivery or decisionmaking. Happy Holidays!
