Many thanks to over 50 Tyler Street volunteers for

sharing their weekend to make 400 guests from the

community as well as out of town feel welcome during

the annual Old Oak Cliff Conservaon League Fall Home

Tour. In recognion of our Centennial, Tyler Street was

included in this celebraon of Oak Cliff, and we were

able to showcase our beauful sanctuary, famous Rog-

er McIntosh windows and dome, Memorial Organ, bits

of Tyler Street history as well as a beauful display of

wedding dresses from ten decades. On the Friday prior to the tour, we were privileged

to welcome 15 visitors from the C. C. Young Rerement Center for a preview tour. Our

visitors were very interested in the pictures of the original church where Rev. Young

served as one of Tyler Street's early pastors. They were all capvated with the beauty of

the sanctuary and expressed an interest in returning when they could hear the or-

gan. Proceeds from the League tour are given back to the community in the form of

grants for neighborhood and community associaons for the connued beauficaon

and preservaon of Oak Cliff. Tyler Street is pleased to be a part of this effort. Thanks

again to all those who parcipated in this event. Carla Boss and Vivian Skinner

Thanksgiving Day at the Manor 2012

How many different ways can we find to say thank you? Good food, good fellowship,

and so much more. Once again we want to say thanks for remembering us on

Thanksgiving Day. For many years now, Tyler Street members have taken me on this

day to make it special for our residents, many of whom have no family to share it

with. Your kindness and generosity are greatly appreciated.
