The RCC will meet at the Five Star Senior Center, 2832 Arsenal St., on Tuesday, June 3, 2025 (first Tuesday), at 3:30 pm. There is parking immediately across the street to the north, on the Kutis lot. We thank Five Star for allow us to use their board room for our meeting. Our July 1st and August 5th RCC meetings will also be at Five Star. 

Please put our Football Breakfast Fundraiser on your calendar for Saturday, August 23, noon to 5, at Riley's Pub at the corner of Arsenal and Arkansas. We need help that day for set up, grilling, sales and with raffle items, so if you can spare an hour or a few to assist, that would be most appreciated. 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 volunteers to help serve each of the breakfasts. We would like to have all volunteers screened through the district's process, so please contact me if you can help with that and I will get you the info for the screening. The first football game (and breakfast) is Saturday, August 30th.

By
Reminder that our once-a-year fundraiser for the Roosevelt Football Breakfasts is this Saturday, 1-5 pm at Riley's Irish Pub at the SE corner of Arsenal & Arkansas. It turns out that we have a number of very nice raffle items as well as brats, hotdogs, potato salad, fruit, and drinks for purchase. (We miss Bill Gilbert but many of the items have been donated with him in mind.) If you plan to come and help, we will be setting up starting at noon, and will be wrapping up, pulling raffle item winning tickets, and cleaning up starting at about 5 or so. Let us know if you can help if you haven't already let us know. The cell # for questions is 314-241-9994.

First Football Breakfast of 2015

By Norah
"Football Breakfasts" means providing breakfast for the Roosevelt High School football team before its Saturday home JV and Varsity games. About 85% of the students at Roosevelt are eligible for the school's free or reduced price meal program during the school week, but there are no such meals on Saturdays. The RCC began supporting the breakfasts about 8 years ago , when Mr. Terry Houston, then principal, asked us to provide volunteers for the breakfasts. The breakfasts were his idea: they are a way to both support the team and connect the community to the school. The volunteers help set up, help serve, and clean up after the breakfasts. Currently, the RCC raises the funds for the breakfasts, hires the caterer to provide the food, and recruits the volunteers. We held a fundraiser in May at Riley's Irish Pub in Tower Grove East to raise funds for the breakfasts. The balance of the funds comes from donations. The caterer is Euylan Welch of WelchOne Catering. We al...

Update on 2025 Roosevelt High School Football Breakfasts from the Roosevelt Community Council

By
Roosevelt High School’s 2025 11-Man Football season was cancelled mid-way through the season after the team’s Homecoming game on September 20, 2025. That game was rained out at half time, due to a thunder storm. As reported by the school’s Athletic Director, the team had suffered some prior injuries and also the loss of some upper class team members, and the school felt that it was unsafe to continue the season with the remaining team members, many of whom were younger and smaller players.  The Roosevelt Community Council raised funds in 2025 to provide breakfast to the team before its Saturday games. Usually, this involves feeding 40 to 50 team members and a few coaches for each breakfast. Sometimes, members of the cheerleading team are also present and invited to have breakfast as well.  This is an activity we have supported for a number of years, and it has also been supported by several nearby neighborhood associations and a number of businesses, as well as the public, at ...
