Florissant
Old Town Partners was incorporated August 26, 1996, under the
not-for-profit Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code
by a group of people representing citizens, businesses and government
who believe that Old Town Florissant is an attractive area where
persons experience a stable, healthy community with a rich cultural
heritage.
FOTP's
goals are to work to:
- Promote
cultural diversity through elimination of prejudice and discrimination.
- Promote
neighborhood harmony.
- Combat
neighborhood deterioration through economic development compatible
with the history of the area and
- Work
with other organizations of similar purpose.
Membership
is open to anyone who supports the goals and objectives of the
corporation and is in no way restricted by race, creed, sex,
age, disability or national origin. Our dues are listed below.
FOTP
membership meetings are on the first Tuesday of the month at
7:00p.m. at the old St. Ferdinand Shrine Schoolhouse.
FOTP is
governed by a board of eleven members elected in January for
three terms. The office at 601 rue St. Charles is know as the
Girardier House. The house, now a Florissant landmark, was moved
from its long standing location in Old Town Florissant to its
present location. The office is an 1860's French farm home and
was donated to FOTP by Lowell Girardier, a local builder, who
was developing the land but wanted the house to be preserved.
