Community interest, meetings, promotions

Dug Feltch of Bob Kramer’s Marionnettes was honored at the May meeting of the WPLNA.  Alderman Michael Browning presented Dug with a certificate from the Board of Aldermen honoring the contributions of Bob Kramer’s Marionnettes.  Dug’s partner Bob Kramer died in the fire last January which also demolished the building where, for decades, they designed and created the puppets and put on legendary puppet shows.  Follow this link for more information on the history of Kramer’s Marionnettes: https://news.stlpublicradio.org/show/st-louis-on-the-air/2023-02-03/remembering-master-puppeteer-bob-kramer-who-delighted-st-louis-audiences-for-decades

Reform St. Louis posted 2-10-2021

The Reform St. Louis coalition has launched a month-long exploratory campaign to consider changes to make the Board of Aldermen more ethical, effective, and equitable. The coalition was convened by Show Me Integrity and League of Women Voters of Metro St. Louis.

As a part of the official launch, the Coalition has released a public input survey where St. Louisans can share their opinions on reform. The survey will close on Sunday, February 14 at 11:59 p.m., and the results will be used to determine the final campaign proposal. The survey can be viewed here: https://showmeintegrity.org/reformsurvey

We need strong, broad community input in order to determine our next steps and to truly build a campaign of, by, and for the people of St. Louis

The Coalition is currently considering several proposals, including an Independent Citizens Commission to lead redistricting in St. Louis City, ethics reforms such as requiring aldermen to recuse themselves from conflicts of interest, and a variety of other reforms as determined by the residents of St. Louis. 

To learn more about the Reform St. Louis Coalition please visit https://showmeintegrity.org/reformstl. The Coalition will release its final proposal and campaign plan during the week of February 15

News Release—Community Visioning at the Link Auditorium – 11/14/17

Please join us on Tuesday, November 14, 2017 for a Community Visioning Session at The Link Auditorium, 4504 Westminster Place at 6:30 pm (doors open at 5:30). This session, facilitated by the Kansas State University Technical Assistance to Brownfields Program, will seek community input into the future use of this historically significant building, formerly known as The Learning Center and the original home of the Wednesday Club. The Visioning goal is to meet community needs and desires.

This architecturally stunning building was designed by Theodore Link, commissioned by the Wednesday Club in 1908. It is Arts and Crafts style, Link’s first foray into modernism. It holds a 500 seat auditorium with good acoustics and large, inviting rooms on the second floor. It is ideal for events and group meetings. Compare the difference between the Link-designed Second Presbyterian Church across the street. The Church features geometric stone while The Link Auditorium displays a prairie style.

The Wednesday Club of St. Louis was founded in 1890 by leading women of the City who wished to continue their intellectual growth and contribute to the community. Tennessee Williams’ first public performances took place here. In more recent years, the Link Auditorium was acquired by The Learning Center where it became a vibrant teachers’ exchange and resource center, continuing the mission started over 120 years ago.

The mission of The Link Auditorium is to promote an appreciation for various forms of human expression, critical thinking, alternative viewpoints, and a deeper respect for intellectual pursuits. We wish to inspire curiosity, broaden mental horizons, and engage in thoughtful discourse with respect for all. To that end, we encourage our community to discuss with us your ideas, your concerns and topics of interest.
