Some odds and ends: 1) The new shawartfair.org website is live!  Special thanks to David Ray for his hard work.  Look for a revamped sniadev.wpenginepowered.com site, soon! 2) We have a slew of new and returning committees that could use your support, wherever you feel led to serve: website/communications, membership, outreach, art fair, dog park, [...]

It's what's become a monthly Tower Grove Park tradition, Sauce Magazine hosts Food Truck Friday.  We've written about it a few times, here.  The Beacon, did a fantastic job of it, here.  The food fun starts at 4PM, lasts 'til 8 (or whenever the trucks run out), and is a great excuse to get neighbors [...]

Haven't been yet?  It's a must!  Every culinary delight imaginable...well, maybe that's an exaggeration, but it's pretty darn close to the truth!  Get details here, grab a few neighbors, chairs, blankets, etc., and head over to one of the best park gatherings that just so happens to be within walking distance.  

Special thanks to both Sauce Magazine and Tower Grove Park for hosting.  Park events like this are one more reason to live in Shaw.

Teri was recently featured in this Post-Dispatch Editorial, on behalf of the United Way Choir.  To those who know Teri as your child's one-time music teacher, the fact that she leads this volunteer choir should surprise no one.  Last year, she retired from St. Margaret of Scotland School, but now works for The Muny.  Still, [...]

In light of this weekend's workshop, I've been asked how the proposed Shaw safety model will work.  This story from Channel 4 does a great job of showing how Lafayette Square started the model, and how Dutchtown and Tower Grove South are implementing it. I hope to see all of you this Saturday 10AM at [...]
