Regular meeting August 29, 2005 We actually had 180 children who received school supplies this year. Lens Crafters also provided their services. They had free eye exam screenings for the children. They will follow them all year and give them free glasses if needed. The Police Dept. came out and did finger printing for the children. St. Louis Health Dept came out and did blood pressure screening and educated them on lead poisoning. Hartman’s towing took one of their flatbeds out of service for us to use at the Soap Box Derby. I would like to thank all of them for their support as well as Arthur Sharpe, Mayor Adams, and Francine Brungardt for their support that day. Ms. Brot wanted to thank Ms. Colquitt on the great success of the Soap Box Derby. Ms Brot also wanted to congratulate Mr. Lehman Walker upon being invited to serve on the 2005 – 2006 American Institute of Certified Planners nominating committee. He was one of seven members chosen nation-wide. That is a very big honor and he is to be congratulated and we are proud of him in University City. Mr. Wagner wanted to give Councilmember Colquitt full credit. There would not be a Soap Box Derby if it wasn’t for Ms. Colquitt. Mr. Wagner said that Ms. Colquitt makes it happen and she has made it happen every year. It doesn’t just happen by accident. It is a lot of hard work. Thank you Sandy for doing it. Ms. Brungardt gave public thanks to the Police Dept. that will be graduating their second group from the Police Academy this coming Wednesday. She felt that this is an extremely important program and looks forward to its growth and continuance and inclusion of a large number of citizens. She could go on and on about how important it is to build citizen police relationships. Mr. Sharpe commented on Night Out for Crime. This was very valuable for us in University City. Neighbors were able to get together, talked together, worked together and it was a fantastic, absolutely marvelous concept that was carried out.
