Gibson Sothebys International Realty as well as our
own Tim Deihl and Amy Butterworth, (Savin Hill), were proud
sponsors of Oscars on the Avenue an annual event that raised over
$13,000 to support the work of St. Marks Area Main
Street (SMAMS).
SMAMS works to revitalize the business
district on Dorchester Avenue, from Ashmont Station to just south
of Fields Corner, and is part of the Boston Main Street program
that follows a four-point approach 1) community organization, 2)
promotion, 3) design and 4) economic restructuring. Specific Main
Street activities and operations include storefront improvement
grants, public enhancements, local promotional and fund-raising
events such as road races, parades, and multi-cultural festivals) –
events that strategically aim to enhance the image of the business
district and attract consumers. SMAMS will be using
the funds raised to start new beautification and business
development projects, strengthen the Ashmont/Peabody Square
Farmers’ Market, and more.
Tim Deihl is the SMAMS Board
President; he and Amy have dedicated their time to help SMAMS continue to strengthen the
community, support businesses in our neighborhoods, and build a
vibrant place for people to live, work, and play.
At the event, guests dined on delicious antipasti and
appetizers from Chef Nuno Alves and his team at Tavolo Ristorante and enjoyed Best
Picture themed cocktails. The high point of the evening was most
definitely the Neighborhood Academy Awards. Attendees were awarded
several honors, including best dressed (Jennifer House, Flat Black Coffee), best accessory (Tim
Davis, Tim Davis Consulting), and best dressed couple (Philippe
Saad and Anil Nair, DiMella Shaffer, Back to Life Chiropractic and
Wellness).
Executive Director Meaghan Overton summed up the
evening this way, Oscars on the Avenue was such a fun night, and it
was wonderful to see everyone come together to support the work
were doing in the SMAMS district.
On behalf of Gibson Sothebys International Realty, Tim
Deihl and Amy Butterworth, we thank all of those who helped make
the event a success! We look forward to working with you in the
