The Heart of the Neighborhood |
|
|
|
The Old Oak Cliff Conservation League is partnering with The Winnetka Heights Neighborhood Association and Turner House / Oak Cliff Society of Fine Arts to host a benefit for Vicki Fitzgerald on August 22 at the Kessler Theater from 4:00 - 8:00. The event will have live entertainment and there will be a silent auction.
Vicki and Richard went to Tulsa Oklahoma last week to seek out alternative treatment for Vicki's cancer. Bills for Vicki's treatment - even with insurance - have been astronomical and they never would ask for our help. This is something the three organizations wanted to do because of our love for Vicki and all she has done for us and for Oak Cliff.
If you have ever had a house in your neighborhood on the tour in recent years... if you have ever been on the tour... Vicki has touched your life. Vicki got involved with the Home Tour when she was a Liaison in 2003. She was co-chair in 2004. She was Chair in 2005, 2006 and 2007. She was co-chair in 2009. She was VP of Neighborhoods in 2008 and 2009... and that is just her work with the League. She was equally involved with Winnetka and Turner House.
More information about auction items available, tickets, entertainment and how you can help can be tound at Heart of the Neighborhood.

Oak Cliff Christian Church - Last Call |
|
|
|
July 15, 2010
One month from today, Oak Cliff Christian Church will be demolished by the Dallas Independent School District to make way for a softball field (formerly a tennis court). It must be under contract by August 15 and closed by October 29. Odds are not in the church’s favor.
These past few months, we've shown the church to the non-profit Avance, Christ for the Nations, Architexas, Sacred Places, Central Dallas Ministries, two charter schools, a wedding photographer and event planner, two congregations and a handful of condo developers. We also had an open house where around 100 people came through in 4 hours.

|
|
This year's 2010 Old Oak Cliff Conservation League's Home Tour will be on October 9 and 10 from 12:00 to 6:00 PM both days. The tour is OOCCL's sole fundraiser for the year. This year, OOCCL gave back over $20,000.00 back to the community in the form of neighborhood grants to our member neighborhood grants including a special grant to Lida Hoe Elementary for a garden project for local elementary school children. Last year we gave a special one time grant to Turner House of $10,000.00 for their roof.
The amount of money we can give back to the community is directly related to the amount of money the tour takes in. Please consider sponsorship or running an ad in the tour booklet so we can distriute even more money next year continue to make Oak Cliff a great place to live.
