There is a new display at the SDCC Office: portrait photographs of all the former Executive Directors and Presidents of the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council have been placed in the outer office for all to see (you can even glimpse them through the window!).

As a part of the 50th anniversary of the council’s founding, a committee was formed to brainstorm ways to mark the occasion. Mary Pat O’Gorman, Andy Cross, Lana Stein, Gwen Lazard, Charlene Caburnay, Jo Ann Vatcha, Marj Weir, and Rogerene Kinds helped Brandon Sterling and Karen Kelsey implement several of the ideas: growing golden flowers to celebrate 50 years; a slide show of neighborhood history which is available for future events as well; a party together with the housing corporation; and a display of photos of former council leaders. Charlene found 40 identical frames at IKEA for us to use; Andy did the yeoman ladder work to hang them properly, Jo Ann got them printed, Marj helped find missing leaders, Brandon and Karen surrendered their space and helped make it look official! Derek Knight took some great pictures at the unveiling.

To see them all (with dates of service), stop by 6008 Kingsbury soon.
