Welcome to Spring! I’m sure we can all agree that winter felt like the never ending season this year. I am ready for more sunshine, warmer weather, and enjoying all that St. Louis has to offer for outdoor fun!

Speaking of outdoor fun, Anheuser-Busch’s Biergarten is a great spot to enjoy the weather any time of year. They are also going to be a wonderful venue to enjoy our upcoming May meeting! For May we are going to be discussing utilizing and maximizing the partnerships that SLAA provides for the members. We have an amazing lineup for our panel, so it is a meeting you won’t want to miss! Mark you calendars now to join us on May 15th at 11:00 a.m.

I want to thank everyone for attending the March Meeting held at the beautiful Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis. Aside from the beautiful event space, delicious lunch, and to die for dessert, we were able to learn so much from Brian Hall from Explore St. Louis. There are so many things to be proud of in this great city of ours, and Brian did an excellent job of highlighting them. I can’t wait to see what their hard work at Explore St. Louis accomplishes in the next year and the years to come. Thank you so much, Brian, for speaking, and I hope you enjoyed your chips!

Again, thank you to The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis for hosting us and providing the perfect backdrop for our luncheon.

As a reminder, memberships are still available for renewal. Please reach out to Kelley at slaa@qabs.com, or myself at jutterback@westportsocial-stl.com with any questions or to get renewed today.

Thank you for your time and devotion to this association. We couldn’t do it without our members! If you ever have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
