RIPS is asking for your support this month. Your renewal of your membership helps support our activities, which is very much appreciated. We are also asking you to consider how your time and skills could help further preservation work in Rock Island. Linda Anderson would like to answer your questions about a commitment to serve on the Board of RIPS. Her phone number is included in the article listing open positions. Please give her a call.

We are pleased to be working with the owner of the former YMCA landmark her building. Lisa Vinar, owner of D. Vinar Furniture at 20th Street & 5th Avenue, recognizes the historic and architectural value of the building and is working with RIPS for landmark status.
