St. Louis Branch Holiday Outreach “Adopt a Family” Program
Donations Needed for Our Final Raffle of the Year Since 2012, the St. Louis branch of the Missouri APWA has adopted families from the St. Louis Crisis Family Nursery during the holiday season to provide a brighter Christmas morning to those in need. We have set out a goal to expand our efforts and adopt multiple families through your charitable contri-butions and donations. This year we decided to hold three fundraising efforts. Thus far, we have held raffles in May and
September. At the September 20th raffle, the Branch was able to raise $625. This brought our grand total to $1,545 so far, this year!!
The Branch would like to thank the following sponsors who through their generosity provided the donations for the September
raffle:
Crawford, Murphy & Tilly Odyssey White Pro 2.0 V-Line Putter
Shannon and Wilson $50 Lowe’s Gift Card
Spire Energy 2 Tickets to a 2018 Cardinals Game
Burns and McDonnell 4 Tickets to a 2018 Cardinals Game
EDM 2 Tickets to a 2018 Cardinals Game Our final raffle will be at the December 7th Holiday Lunch. The combined money raised in all three raffles will be used for the Christmas Outreach Program. The final raffle will be held December 7th at our luncheon at Holiday Lunch at Hollywood Casino. So how can you help: At our remaining December program, we will be raffling off chances to win cool stuff. That’s where you come in. We are in need of items that people would want to buy raffle tickets for. Some of our wish list items would include tablets, golf foursomes, sports memorabilia, sports tickets (Cardinals, Blues), restaurant or store gift cards, or other items that somebody like you would enjoy winning if you bought a raffle ticket. Nothing is too small, nor too large. If your company would like to support our efforts by ei-ther providing one of the items, or just making a donation with the understanding that we may purchase one of the items with the donation, please contact John Keeven.

STL PW Director’s Forum
At the September 20th PW Directors' Roundtable, we discussed an online forum, which would allow for extended discus-sions. With assistance from APWA National, that forum is now up and running. This forum is reserved only for PW Directors and equivalents in the St. Louis Branch. In the future, we hope to also offer a forum for Superintendents. Our goal is to have candid discussions and exchange ideas to the benefit of all our municipalities. To subscribe, visithttp://infonow.apwa.net/group.htm?mode=home&igid=232052. You can adjust settings to receive emails as they are posted, once per day, or never (access via website only). Questions and responses can likewise be posted either through the website or by email. Initially, Steve Meyer will be the moderator, but that responsibility will be shared in the future. For technical questions related to the forum itself, please contact Ashley Wilson: [email protected].
