JUDGE ORDERS PARTIES TO MEDIATION IN OOCCL VS. DISD |
 |
 |
 |
Judge Martin Hoffman ordered both parties to mediation prior to our next court hearing on 2/19/2010 at 1:30PM. OOCCL volunteered, DISD had to be ordered. In trying to convince parties to mediate the case, Judge Hoffman commented on the beauty of the church and couldn't DISD incorporate the structure into their plans for a new campus. DISD representative Lee Simpson said the structure must come down to gasps heard in the courtroom.

WE CONTIUNE TO NEED YOUR HELP!
The next court date will be 2/19/2010 at 1:30 PM in Judge Hoffman's court. Support needs to grow and not subside. That this building is still standing over a month after a demo permit was issued is an amazing testament to our continued success. Let's see this through to the end and win big for Oak Cliff.

Many know that Vicki Fitzgerald was diagnosed with oral cancer in early October of last year. Vicki is doing well. She has had surgery, chemotherapy and is currently doing that in combination with radiation at Methodist Hospital.
Vicki has been an officer with the League for the past two years and has run our home tour off and on for 6. Vicki's husband Richard has done more behind the scenes work for the League than we can type here. Vicki's timeless dedication to the League and the Home Tour is extraordinary.
Vicki and her husband Richard mean the world to the League and we wanted to help. Medical bills and lost work add up even in the best of circumstances. The Fitzgeralds have insurance but 20% of an astronomical figure is still an astronomical figure.
We've set up an account at Bank of Texas on 12th and Zang. Bank of Texas President Danell Lictenwalter has made it easy to give.
Simply stop by the bank or mail a check to:
Bank of Texas
201 W. Twelfth St.
Dallas, Texas 75208
Attn: Danell Lictenwalter
Place Vicki's name in the memo portion of the check make it payable to Bank of Texas and the Fitzgeralds will get it. Thank you. |

District Judge Martin Hoffman of the 68th court gave DISD till January 29th to supply OOCCL with financial records. Were any federal funding to be used in this project, it would kick in Section 106 of the National Historic Trust Act.
