Roosevelt Community Council, St. Louis, MO

Just a reminder that the Roosevelt Community Council will meet tomorrow, Tuesday, December 11th, 2012 at 4:30 pm at the school at 3230 Hartford in Room 007 on the ground floor of the school. Parking is located on the lot on the Compton side of the building. Update on the Roosevelt Breakfast Blend coffee fundraiser - we have figured out that we received 1 pound bags of coffee in the first shipment instead of 12 ounce bags, so the price will be adjusted to $12.00 per bag plus sales tax.

We will have some bags of coffee available for purchase at the December 11th Roosevelt Community Council Meeting, 4:30 pm in Room 007 at the School. Whole bean or ground, 12 ounce packages. The price will be $10.97 for 1 package, $21.95 for 2, etc., including sales taxes. Checks can be made out to LaMancha Coffeehouse. The plan is to get a head start on fundraising for the 2013 RHS Football Breakfasts!!!     Roosevelt Breakfast Blend Coffee   Looking for some special coffee to give or serve for the Holidays??   Buy   Roosevelt Breakfast Blend Coffee, whole bean or ground, and support the Football Team at Roosevelt High School, South St. Louis City.   Each 12 ounce package of coffee is $10.00, plus sales tax.   All profits from the sale of this coffee go to support Roosevelt High School Football Breakfasts - community-supported breakfast for the team before home games.   For more info about the Football Breakfasts go to:   rooseveltcommunitycouncil.blogspot.c

The Roosevelt Community Council will meet on Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 4:30 pm. The meeting will be held in the Afterschool Room, Room 007. We look forward to seeing everyone there. Room 007 is on the ground floor (lowest level) on the west side of the building. There is a parking lot on the east side of the building off Compton. We briefly considered moving the meeting from the second Tuesday to the third Tuesday of the month, but decided against it.

Our regular second-Tuesday-of-the-month meeting is today (Tuesday, October 9th) at 4:30 pm at the school, probably in the Library annex room on the second floor. The final RHS Football Breakfast will be on Saturday, October 20th, which is also Homecoming. Volunteers will be needed and we are still seeking cash donations to fund the final breakfast.
