Second St. NA & South Fourth St. NA

Oct 22, 2003

Please extend your appreciation and thanks to the members of the Second Street NA and the South Fourth Street NA, for their contributions to our period lighting fund. Here is the letter that was sent to the Chairs, Jerry Birschbach and Dot Wade, on the WSCNA's behalf:


I am writing on behalf of the West Saint Catherine NA (WSCNA) to thank you so very much for the contribution to the lighting fund for our period lights on West Saint Catherine Street. I, as well as the members of the WSCNA, appreciate the generosity of spirit and the sense of community you?’ve exhibited in your consideration of our cause. Indeed, it?’s such generosity that proves the veracity of the claim that one of the best kept secrets in Louisville today is the sense of community that?’s alive and well in the urban districts.

Your contribution is so important, as period lighting serves many purposes. When our homes were constructed, it is true that the lighting on our street was very similar to what is there now; however, aesthetics is not our only concern. As any of our residents and neighbors, as well as the many visitors to our area, will attest, when these lights are lit there is a much increased and appreciated perception of security and safety as a result of the period lighting. West Saint Catherine is a much lighter and safer street with the advent of period lighting---a definite positive when it comes to promoting our common vision of making the City the place to live, work and play.

Thank you in again for your kind and generous contribution.

Sincerely,


Rhonda Williams
Chair of the West Saint
Catherine Neighborhood Association
