TO THE EDITOR:
I would like to respond to the article in last month’s paper on the Day Care Center project, and clarify several statements where my name was mentioned.
The article listed me as Washington University Community Developer for the project. I am not. There are plans for employing a community developer in the summer if the summer project is funded.
In the same paragraph, the article stated that I “believe that a day care center is one of the top priority needs of the community.” I think there is a need in the Skinker-DeBaliviere area, for a child care center, and I would like to see one started. But to keep things in focus, let me say that I think there might be some other needs in this community that are more important and immediate.
The article listed people taking part in the project. The people mentioned make up only a partial list of neighborhood people who have shown interest in the project and who have already been helping in the planning. Many more neighborhood people are needed in this project if it is to be run by and for the residents of the Skinker-DeBaliviere area.
