A leading performer of children’s music for over fifty years, Ella Jenkins has been honored by the DuSable Museum of African American History. Affectionately named “The First Lady of the Children’s Folk Songs,” Ella was a recipient of the 2004 GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award and has been recognized by many other prestigious arts and culture organizations.
A family-friendly event, there will be music, birthday treats, giveaways, and activities for kids. Sponsored by the Old Town Triangle Association, Church of the Three Crosses, Lincoln Central Association, and Tim Ferrin. RSVP’s requested below.
Strategic Planning Committee
Four workgroups were created to focus on specific topics. Each workgroup generates suggestions for improving how the OTTA addresses those topics. Preliminary proposals were provided to the Board at the July meeting. While still not finalized, you can review the draft documents (click here) presented by each workgroup. A community meeting will be held in October to seek feedback from members.
OTTA Members voted to invest in creating a Strategic Plan for the organization at the Annual Members meeting in January 2022. The Committee was formed with: Zac Bleicher, Dorothy DeCarlo, Diane Fitzgerald, Phil Graff, Brad Neuman, Rick Rausch and John Engman (Consultant).
