Historical October 1986 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
Imagine a warm summer evening, good food, and cold beer. What else could you ask for? People, that’s what!
The summer Rosedale Neighborhood Association potluck dinner meeting won’t go down in history as the best attended, but those who came enjoyed themselves.
Some of the blame for the poor turnout is mine. I thought that flyers would be unnecessary since the meeting was announced in The Times. I won’t make that mistake again!
The “Go, Redbirds!” theme for the evening brought out the crimson baseball caps and T-shirts. Yours truly won the door prize: two gift certificates toward purchase of Cardinal baseball tickets.
It was the luck of the draw that brought me the tickets and nothing, I can assure you, nefarious had been planned.
As for business, the Association voted to donate $300 to The Times.
This was lower than last year’s donation because of our reduced Rags to Riches proceeds.
The Association also agreed to make our traditional donation toward the Halloween Party for neighborhood children.
This will be organized by Art Santen (6100 McPherson).
In another agenda item, Paul Repetto (6100 Kingsbury) was invited to describe his ongoing efforts to change some undesirable aspects of the operation of the Bonafide gas station on Skinker.
If you have a complaint about the station, Paul would appreciate hearing from you.
The Association will soon receive $100 for helping a St. Louis University doctoral student test a questionnaire about family consumer habits. Ginny Klevorn (6100 Washington) suggested Rosedale as a good testing ground, and organized the effort.
Thanks are extended to her and the 30 or so households that participated.
We sorely need the funds. Last July, the Association decided to compile a directory of neighborhood businesses, institutions, and services as a convenience for our residents.
Since then, the Skinker-DeBaliviere Business Association has considered a similar project, and Grace Methodist Church has begun its own directory.
To avoid duplication of efforts, the Community Council has offered to coordinate the compilation of a single, comprehensive directory. Ginny Klevorn and Katie Kurtz (6000 Washington) have volunteered to organize the Association’s contribution. About thirty residents gathered for the Association’s picnic following the MidAmerica Dance Company performance at Four Corners on Sunday, September 21.
The Dancers were invited to stay and share in the food, drink, and company.
A little money was raised by selling beer and soda. Special thanks to Frank Burke, Paul Kurtz, Maverine Wilson, and Nancy Farmer for helping with the concessions. Last but not least, please plan to attend the Fall potluck dinner on Tuesday, October 21, 7:00 p.m., at the 28th Ward Democratic Committee Office, 6010 Kingbury.
