We had St. Louis County Planning Commission and PIC meetings in the past. Another public hearing is scheduled by PIC on Tuesday January 3, 2012 at 5PM at St. Louis County Office in Clayton. It is an opportunity for us to express our opinions about the necessity of the building with class rooms, kitchen, parking facility, Library etc.  This is an important meeting and the decision of PIC is final.

We sincerely request as many members as possible to attend this meeting and show support.   Board of Trustees & Executive Committee.
