The Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council is launching a house to house canvas for members on Sunday, October 18, from 2 to 4:30 p.m. Members of the Council, representatives of Washington Heights Neighbors and Skinker-Rosedale Neighborhood Association and block chairmen are inviting any interested individuals in the community to participate in the drive.
The reasons behind the canvas are basically three-fold: operating funds, a door-to-door census to find local talent and interest, and the hope that residents of the community will take the opportunity to find out about the organizations and become more involved in the activities and problem-solving of the Council.
Several membership prices are available. Students will be offered a special $1.00 membership; businessmen may join for $25.00; non-residents such as Grace Methodist or Delmar Baptist members who live outside the neighborhood may join for $5.00 non-participating membership. The membership fee for area residents is $3.00.
The membership fee will entitle the resident to membership in both the neighborhood association and the Skinker-DeBaliviere Council.
The Council’s share of the fees will be determined by the associations. Appeals will be issued from the church pulpits on Sunday morning for participation in the canvas.
All members will be invited to a special area-wide meeting on November 1, 2:30 p.m. in St. Roch’s gym. Anyone who ‘wishes to volunteer to solicit a particular- block should call Sharon McPherron, chairman of the drive, 721-6649, or Pat Kohn, 863-9259.
