Roosevelt Community Council, St. Louis, MO

WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THE TAILGATED SCHEDULED FOR SATURDAY, 9-28, HAS BEEN CANCELED. This Saturday, Sept. 28th, was scheduled as Roosevelt's Homecoming game. The team's opponent has forfeited, but there will be a Homecoming event - a Tailgate - at the school from 11 AM until 1 PM. Coach Porter posted on Twitter: "This will serve as an opportunity for our players, school, and community to come together in fellowship. We will have food and merchandise on site." The school is located at 3230 Hartford Street, at the intersection of Compton and Hartford.   Also, we invite the community to attend our Roosevelt Community Council meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 1st, at 4:30 pm at the school in Room 102. Several of our RCC members just attended a workshop on Racial Equity provided by the Forward Through Ferguson organization, and we will be "reporting out" about the workshop as well as our usual agenda.

The time has been moved back one hour from the previously announced time. The game has been moved from Roosevelt to Cleveland because of construction on the Roosevelt field.
