OAK CLIFF JANUARY 2010
Community
- The Old Oak Cliff Conservation League brought in about $1,000 selling its bumper stickers with the slogan, “Oak Cliff. Keep it Real.” Now they’re putting the slogan on T-shirts. They’re available in several colors at Alchemy Salon, 317 N. Bishop. The T-shirts are $25, and the bumper stickers are $5.
- The Old Oak Cliff Conservation League is writing a $10,000 check to Turner House for its roof repairs. It is the largest single grant in the league’s 35-year history. Turner House, which is a clubhouse for the Oak Cliff Society of Fine Arts, is one of the four original estate homes in Winnetka Heights. Its original glazed-tile roof needs extensive repairs.
- The Old Chisholm Trail Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution presented Ellen J. Taft of Mountain Creek with the 2009 DAR Conservation Award. Taft is a member of the Park and Recreation Board. Even though she has multiple sclerosis, she patrols a one-mile stretch of Eagle Ford Road, picking up garbage — including TVs, mattresses and hundreds of bags full of trash — on both sides of the road. She also has fought homeowners associations and developers in efforts to prevent actions that would encourage soil erosion.
