The Rosedale Neighborhood Association’s Annual Dinner will be held on June 4 in Scariot Hall at St. Roch’s. The cash bar will open at 6. Dinner will be at 7 p.m. We invite all of Rosedale neighborhood to partake.
Because of the terrific variety possible here and our past history of deliciousness, potluck will again be the fare. We ask that you bring a dish (entree, salad, vegetable, bread, dessert, hors d’oeuvres). There is no charge for the evening. There will be a cash bar, music, and partying, and a brief business meeting to give you an opportunity to bring up any issues or suggestions you have. We will also have a special drawing for a prize open to those who have paid dues for the year. The dinner will be your last opportunity to join RNA this year.
Regardless of whether you have paid dues to the organization, all Rosedale activities, including the dinner, are open to anyone who lives in this neighborhood. We solicit dues simply because we can do so much more when we have some money!
We have planned this year to make a greater effort to reach apartment dwellers. so join us in inviting and welcoming our friends in Rosedale apartments to the Annual Dinner. We are attempting to solve the problem of access to many buildings. All flyers are now being taped to the windows of both front and back entrances; contact has been made with many residents of the bigger buildings to help us get flyers and The Paper inside. Our Membership Drive did enable us to meet many previously “anonymous” neighbors. But let’s face it: we need to do more.
We need: volunteers who live in apartment buildings to help with flyers and The Paper; opportunities to meet with each other about shared problems, e.g. crime-related items (we can help each other watch for burglaries, know each other when something is wrong, etc.); a greater willingness to expand our field of vision. We can learn from each other, and we can enjoy just knowing each other.
Apartment dwellers! Please come to our dinner, have fun, get to know us homebodies, and plan on letting your organization know what your special problems are and how we can help.
Hope to see you all on June 4.
