Roosevelt Community Council, St. Louis, MO

All - A reminder that the Roosevelt Community Council will meet on Tuesday, August 13th at the school at 4:30 pm. We plan to tour the completed construction at the school and then have a short meeting. Gather in the main hall outside Ms. Gale's office at 4:30 please.   I'm attaching a copy of the district's volunteer background screening forms, which we will be using this year for council members. They only take a few minutes to complete. All of the forms are to be returned to the Volunteer Services office downtown (can be faxed) and there is no fee.   We will distribute an update on the fund-raising for the football breakfasts at the meeting.

Tomorrow's meeting will be at 4:30 pm at the Salvation Army, 2740 Arsenal, about 4 blocks east of Gravois.
