Our Centennial celebration is coming: Saturday, October 11, at Four Corners. Elected officials will be present, there will be food and beverages at costs, and bands will entertain. Centennial mementoes will be available for purchase, along with the neighborhood history.
Please come and join the party and the recognition of a very special neighborhood that defied the conventional wisdom to become stable and integrated.
All our problems are not behind us but we’ve come a long way! Thanks to our generous donors, especially the Premier Donors Washington University, Joe Edwards, and the Skinker-DeBaliviere Housing Corporation, we will have a great celebration and funding available to archive the entire history of the TIMES.
As a special surprise, for the occasion, we will be publishing a Special Edition of the TIMES highlighting all the Centennial activities and including the names of all those who have made donations to our 100 year celebration. It’s not too late to be included!
If you don’t get a flyer or an envelope and would like to donate, send it to TIMES of SKINKER-DEBALIVIERE, 6168 Westminster, with the note “For the Centennial Celebration.” For the other important event of this autumn, all the pundits are saying that this will be a critical election, a possible turning point in our country’s history.
On behalf of the Times, I am urging you – regardless of your predilection – to register and vote on that first Tuesday in November. You can register at our Charing Cross Library on Skinker at your convenience.
Now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of their party.
With seeming unending conflict and an economy in freefall, it’s time to act. Sometimes only a handful of votes can make a difference. Don’t be in the position of saying, “if I only had. …” In the presidential primary in February, the 28th ward was the highest voting. Let’s do it again and have the 26th up there too! Make a difference.
