Roosevelt Community Council, St. Louis, MO

We received an update from the Athletic Director at Roosevelt re a change in the Sept. 20th Homecoming football game:  Due to tornado damage from the May 16th tornado, there has been a change in Roosevelt's Homecoming Game on September 20, 2025. The team will play St. Pius X High School (Festus) instead of Soldan High School.  The reason for this is that S oldan's students are moving to GatewaySTEM to attend classes this fall and their athletes will be participating with Gateway's students. Sumner's students will be attending classes at Miller Career Academy and participating in sports with them as well. This left us without an opponent for our celebration. I put out an all-points-bulletin to the area athletic director's for a "hail mary" in an effort to find an opponent to fill the opening in our schedule. I am happy to announce that St. Pius X (Festus) will be our opponent for our game on 9/20. Here's the updated game schedule: 

  The Roosevelt Community Council will meet at the Five Star Senior Center on Tuesday, July 1, 2025 (first Tuesday), at 3:30pm. Five Star is located at 2832 Arsenal St., and there is parking across the street to the north on the Kutis lot. We are working on plans for our once-a-year fundraiser on Saturday, August 23, noon to 5, at Riley's Pub, Arsenal & Arkansas. We need both volunteers and raffle items such as restaurant gift certificates. "Contact Us" to help.

We also need raffle items, gift cards and the like (Bill Gilbert, our biggest fundraiser/organizer is no longer with us). We can provide an official charitable donation acknowledgement letter if needed. Finally, our new caterer for the Football Breakfasts will handle things a little bit differently, and we are going to need a few vol...

We meet every month on the first Tuesday of the month. Our April 2025 meeting is April 1st, and we are meeting at Roosevelt. We moved our meetings to 3:30pm so that we can get a report from the school. The district changed Roosevelt's hours to an earlier schedule this year, 7:15a to 2:12p - due to bus issues.
