AmeriCorps! How do you
feel? “Fantastic, terrific, great, all
day long!” Wow, we are off to a great
start.
We have about 60 Members serving,
making our 8th year of service one to
remember. We are having a blast and are
excited to tell you what we are up to.
This year has truly been invigorating
and inspirational. Thus far we have
fought fires, built bridges,
orchestrated book drives, tutored
hundreds of students, had several
potlucks, origami classes, parties and
much more.
Our Members are fun, talented,
initiators, invigorated and an
inspiration. So come on in, the service
is great!

Here are just a few highlights of what our members are up to.
Andrew McCoy.
Andrew has organized
several sports teams. Recently, he organized a
regional wrestling tournament for high school students from
Missouri, Indiana and Arkansas. Andrew served hard to make this project a reality. One of the referees at the match said that it
was the best ran tournament in St. Louis since the 60’s!
