The Skinker-DeBaliviere Neighborhood is celebrating its Centennial Year of 2008 with several activities and with a few lofty goals.
These include raising enough money to have a wonderful event on October 11, publishing our neighborhood history, including an oral history DVD, and establishing a neighborhood archive, permanently storing the photographic and written memories of individual neighbors, small groups and organizations, and all issues of the 38 year history of the neighborhood in print, our own TIMES of SKINKER-DEBALIVIERE.
We are very pleased to announce that the fundraising for accomplishing these goals is going very well. Thanks to Lu Green, long=time neighbor and professional fundraiser, we got off to a wonderful start, recruiting Premier Sponsors at a level of $2500, Historian Sponsors at $1000, Four Corners Donors at $500, Community Donors at $250, and Neighbors Donors at $100 and below. There’s time to join our fundraising effort, which will enable us to spread the word about our great neighborhood with street banners, publications, and more. For more information, contact jvatcha@gmail.com.
In our fall issue we will recognize all our Sponsors and Donors.
