Note that admission to games is $4 per person, cash, and you enter the field at the corner of Compton and Wyoming (and Gravois). There is a concession stand that is open during the games. Here is a link to some info about the new football coach, Shawn Pollard .

As discussed at the July meeting, we are moving the August meeting to Thursday, August 4th, at 4:30 pm. The change in the meeting date is due to election day and National Night Out.   We will meet in the board room at Five Star Senior Center, 2832 Arsenal St. Five Star is about 2 blocks east of Gravois on Arsenal, in Benton Park West. Dr. Crystal Gale, Principal, plans to attend the meeting.  Please feel free to share this info with others who might be interested in joining us!!
