Roundtable Discussion with a guest this
Thurs. evening, January 12! Everyone is welcome!
 We'll meet at the Webster Groves Public Library, 301 E. Lockwood Ave., 63119. The first half of the evening will be with a guest speaker, Sydnee Maberry, LMSW, who will talk about LGBTQ+ rights and concerns and issues. She comes highly recommended from The Center for Mindfulness & CBT. This will be our first weekday evening Roundtable Discussion, from 6:30 until 8:30, so we hope the time and place works out for students. Once again, additional topics for the second hour will be suggestions made by all of you when you sign up. As always, food and drink will be provided and a Game Changer point earned. This would be a great event, first of 2023, to bring a friend new to Civitas!
Click here to sign up now for another energetic and enlightening chat!
Join us Thursday evening at the Webster Groves Public Library, 6:30-8:30.
(Front of the WG Public Library on Lockwood. Parking and entrance to where we'll be is off Orchard Ave., west of the library.)

Where Have all the Streetcars Gone?
Why was the Loop Trolley a failure? Why don't trains stop at Union Station anymore? What used to be on the Arch grounds? Why is Downtown dead? Where did all the streetcars go? Join Civitas alum and St. Olaf Senior Gabe Lepak for a conversation on American urbanism in the past 100 years as we answer these questions and more while we examine the policies, events, and players behind the way our neighborhoods are designed.
This fun event will be held on Saturday, February 4, 2023, 1:00 pm--3:00 pm, (while Gabe is still home on winter break!) at Grant's View Library (9700 Musick Rd., St. Louis, MO 63123).

Tour the St. Louis Holocaust Museum on Feb. 12!
The St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum (12 Millstone Campus Dr., Creve Coeur 63146) reopened last month after a huge renovation and expansion that quadrupled its size. As promised, Civitas has arranged for a Sunday afternoon guided tour of the new museum on Sunday, Feb. 12 from 1:00 pm until 3:00 pm. Tickets will be free for Civitas students who sign up. We'll meet at the museum at 12:45 so we can all go through their required security before our 1:00 pm tour start time. With anti-Semitism on the rise again in our country, now is a very important time to refresh our knowledge of the Holocaust.
