The Chippewa-Broadway Business Association (CBBA) presented Walter Proehl, Benevolent Chairperson, St. Alexius Auxiliary, with a watering can and garden gloves, August 31, 2006, in recognition of the Auxiliary's generous donation of $2,000 which was used to buy plants for the planters recently installed along South Broadway.
The planters are part of CBBA's 'Streetscape Program,' designed to dramatically enhance the street appearance of our business district. Earlier this year, St. Alexius Auxiliary approached CBBA with an offer to assist the association with its beautification program.
Now celebrating its 55th Anniversary, St. Alexius Auxiliary has diligently funded projects through fundraising to support the patients, families and the community served by St. Alexius Hospital. The Auxiliary, which also operates the Hospital Gift Shop, has donated five $2,000 nursing scholarships per year to the Lutheran School of Nursing, purchased uniforms for Carnahan School, St. Louis Fire Department Brigade, Children's Home Society, Backstoppers, U.S.O., Catholic Charities and Chippewa-Broadway Business Association.

On August 7, 40 elegant planters, two on a pallet, were unloaded from a flatbed truck from Wausau Tile and placed at CBBA businesses near the fountain at Chippewa and along South Broadway.
Over the next few weeks, the planters were removed from the pallets using a frontend loader operated by the crew from Champion Scale. The marble and concrete composite planters, weighing 335 lbs each, were carefully positioned on the sidewalks. Once installed, volunteers quickly began placing dirt and an Evergreen Boxwood in each planter.
The difference along South Broadway is amazing. Colorful annuals planted in several planters enhance the beauty of the planters. Later this fall, pansies will be planted to bring color throughout the winter months.
The successful installation was accomplished through a dedicated effort, and a lot of sweat, by CBBA's Beautification Committee. Out sincere thanks go to 20th Ward Alderman Craig Schmid; 9th Ward Alderman Ken Ortmann; Harry Bennett, commercial district manager, St. Louis Development Corporation (SLDC); Sarah Bliss, Beautification Chairperson, and her husband, Tim; Bob Dielmann; Monica and Maryann Rose; Joe and Kurt Hebenstreit; Tony Soushee; and Bob Moore who photographed the entire project. For slide show of the installation, see CBBA Planters.

CBBA Installs Colorful New Street Banners in Business District
Twenty-five colorful banners with CBBA's mission "Working Together Since 1923 to Better Our Business and Residential Community" and our web site were installed recently on streetlight poles around the fountain at Chippewa, west on Chippewa Street, and along South Broadway to Gasconade Street.
The banners, designed by the Moore Design Group, feature an historic image of horse-drawn streetcars and businesses along Broadway and the horse trough at Jefferson and Chippewa, courtesy of Bob Dielmann. The high quality vinyl banners, produced by Zane Williams Signs and Displays, also have wind slits to prevent tearing.
Twenty-two American flags have been placed on eleven streetlight poles between the CBBA banners along South Broadway. The CBBA's marketing committee, chaired by Betty Moore, anticipates adding additional banners and flags as funding becomes available through the Capital Improvement Program.
