Skinker- DeBaliviere (SD) is a wonderful, diverse and historic neighborhood in the City of Saint Louis.
While most of you already know that, perhaps you may not know what helps keep the neighborhood thriving and vibrant.
A large part of the success of the neighborhood is owed to the Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council (SDCC).
The staff at SDCC, together with a wide representation of local institutions, organizations and citizen volunteers make up the backbone of the Council to support its mission “to be the connector, coordinator and facilitator of all aspects necessary to maintain and enhance our diverse, desirable and thriving community.” The sixth annual Homecoming on October 4th will also celebrate the history of our fair city.
This year we invite you to attend “A Night of Saint Louis Whimsy: Celebrate Saint Louis’s 250th Birthday in Skinker DeBaliviere Style!” Come wearing your best St. Louis themed attire or dress as your favorite St. Louis personality. Anything Saint Louis goes, so please get creative!
This is the biggest fundraiser for the neighborhood. Everyone benefits from the money raised at this event, but more than that…. It’s simply an awesome event in it’s own right.
The event will be held at Joe’s Cafe, an eclectic gem that is like none other in the area.
A live performance by Javier Mendoza, a Saint Louis favorite, is sure to light up the stage. You’ll dance the calories off from dinner too. What’s more Saint Louis than some delicious BBQ catered new Delmar Loop restaurant, Salt and Smoke?
The $50 ticket gets you into the event, all food & fun included, and you’ll know that the dollars are going directly to support community development in one of Saint Louis’s best historic neighborhoods.
A great silent auction and drinks will be available too. Why wait? Buy your tickets before the event sells out.
An additional incentive to buy early this year! Buy your Golden Tickets before October 3 and you’ll be entered into an exclusive drawing for a special, mystery goody basket! Don’t miss out on this chance to win. Tickets will be on sale at the Better Block Project, or you can purchase your ticket by cash or check at the SDCC Offices, located on 6008 Kingsbury, or by credit card at www.skinker-debaliviere.com.
