The Times of Skinker-DeBaliviere, “the oldest neighborhood newspaper in St. Louis,” will celebrate its eighteenth year of continuous publishing with a party to welcome new neighbors: Saturday, June 27 8:00 p.m. til midnight breakfast $10 per person Free Hors d’oeuvres; cash bar Late breakfast served after midnight 6117 Westminster (Vatcha’s) Eighteen years old …
The Times has indeed “come of age.” Distinguished by professionalism of writing and editing, layout and photography, The Times can still boast an allvolunteer staff, a long tradition of independence from all organizations, and dedication to the fair reporting of neighborhood activities and people. Among the regulars contributing to The Times are these individuals: Elizabeth Freeman Calendar Tom Hoerr In Your Ear column Ray Breun History of St. Louis column Jo Ann Vatcha Macho Menus, etc. Venita Lake Layout Chief King Schoenfeld Photography Jane Geer Business Mgr. Sue Rothschild, Marcia Kerz, Bob Dowgwillo, Paul Kurtz, and Nancy Farmer Other regular contributors of articles, fund raising and advertising assistance Katie Kurtz Editor What’s in store for our nineteenth year? Fiscal responsibility is high on the list of priorities, which means fund raisers and appeals to benefactors, plus an increased effort in recruiting new advertisers.
In terms of content, among our plans are a feature on restaurants in our neighborhood, a follow up on developers’ plans for Nina Place, and the recent feature on DeBaliviere.
We plan to continue our popular regular columns and features and, of course, suggestions from readers are always welcome!
A special activity planned for 1987 is the preservation of our entire eighteen year history on microfilm.
The expense for completing this important work will be cut considerably by the sorting and organizing of the Papers by generous volunteers Mari Weir and Venita Lake. Still needed: volunteers to help cross reference the microfilmed editions, so that future research is more easily accomplished (call Katie Kurtz, 727-6377, if interested).
To mark our eighteenth year, the board of The Times decided to celebrate by means of another tradition, a “New Neighbors — Old Friends” party.
All proceeds will go toward the publishing costs, which average more than $3500 per year.
Our most recent financial statement is printed on page 2 of this issue. Worthy of note is the deficit under which we currently labor.
As well, note the generosity of the neighborhood when called on for help.
The Board of The Times of Skinker-DeBaliviere invites all “old friends” to come on June 27 to meet “new neighbors” and celebrate yet another milestone for The Times.
