October has seen many public gatherings (and apparently not much private news which we can print): The Dedication of the Four Corners, nicely attended and well done by George Brown and Vince Schoemehl as our public speakers and Council Smith as presenter of a lovely trophy to Jean Roberts for her service as our community librarian; the New Neighbors Gathering in Rosedale, where many of us got a chance to meet a good many new neighbors; Halloween, no doubt as successful as ever, and as noisy and fun.

Our membership drive has so far netted 113 memberships (we had 51 total last year), so we have added $339 to our coffers, not an insubstantial sum, but if you have not had your chance to pay your membership dues of $3 per household, please feel free to do so by contacting Treasurer Tom Hoerr, 6151 Washington.
The Art Fair took most of our attention and our energy during May, and it seemed a particularly worthy endeavor this year.
Long-awaited by those of us who knew it was in the works, Avis Carlson's new book, In The Fullness Of Time, rewards the wait admirably.
Happy Art Fair day to one and all from THE PAPER.
It's finally Spring, folks, and isn't it lovely to be seeing people outside again?

People occasionally ask me for a precise definition of “vicissitudes,” and this seems an appropriate month to indulge in a bit of description.
