In order to keep the community aware and involved with matters that directly affect our neighborhood, I will be providing up-to-date information from the Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council. PROPOSED BYLAWS—This present issue of “The Neighborhood Paper” contains the proposed bylaws to the Community Council.
Everyone is urged to read them carefully and make suggestions.
These new bylaws will be discussed and voted on at the Feb. 14 meeting of the Council, to be held in Delmar Baptist Church’s basement hall at 7:30 p.m. BLOCK WATCHERS—The Block Watchers program for the Skinker-DeBaliviere neighborhoods will become active once again.
This extremely important program will be very effective if everyone demonstrates an interest.
A meeting of the block captains is scheduled for Feb. 28 at the Skinker-DeBaliviere office at 8 p.m.
Each captain will receive information prior to the meeting. Others who are interested are invited to attend. GOOD SAMARITAN NETWORK—A firstof-its-kind effort in the United States, the Network recruits citizens to help ease at the neighborhood level the fear, frustration and helplessness of victims of crime. Its purpose: to provide victims with personal contact and assistance from the time the crime occurs until its eventual resolution in the criminal justice system. Neighbors are the most important part of this network. You can help!
There are three ways to become a “Good Samaritan.” You can be a duespaying member, an active volunteer or a dues-paying member and an active volunteer.
For more information contact the SDCC office at 862-5122 or The Good Samaritan Network at 531-2597.
