Resource Directory Evolution

A major effort made in 1998 created an attractive print version of this community guide through the NRP program in 1994-5. Download a printable PDF 1998 version. Ruth Fen and Andy Mickel led the effort to fulfill the vision of "producing a directory of neighborhood services" which would not only help long-time residents, but also could be distributed as part of a welcoming packet to newcomers. This version has been reprinted several times over the past 15 years. Prior to that the 1970 Prospect Park Cooperative Community Information Directory (Jim Youngdale, Chair), and the 1977 Tower Hill Neighbors Community Resources Directory (Anne Barnum Chair, produced by Fran Rector, Marge Johnson, Dottie Quam and Pat Tritz). A 1981 edition followed: Southeast Directory organized by the Neighborhood Relations Committee in 1979 (Anne Barnum, Chair and produced by Catherine Johnson, Vicki Cronin, Helen Kretchmer, Judy Sawyer and Pat Tritz).
