I ran lines on two under 15 St. Louis Youth Soccer Association (https://www.slysa.org/home) matches at Kolping Fields in south St. Louis County. They went well.
Work the past two weeks has been busy, but well. This past Tuesday (8 May) was assistant manager Miranda's last day at Ellisville, as she moved down the street to become manager of our Ballwin branch.
I chipped in to support some worth causes on Give STL Day (https://www.givestlday.org/index.php) on 2 May. This year, I contributed to: St. Louis Public Radio (http://news.stlpublicradio.org/), St. Louis Artists' Guild (https://www.stlouisartistsguild.org/), Missouri Aviation Historical Society (https://moavhist.org/), Cinema St. Louis (http://www.cinemastlouis.org/), Circus Flora (http://circusflora.org/), Needy Paws Rescue (http://www.needypaws.org/), Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri (https://www.plannedparenthood.org/planned-parenthood-st-louis-region-southwest-missouri), and Viva Brasil STL (https://www.vivabrasilstl.org/).
I saw my dentist a week ago Thursday (3 May) for my semi-annual checkup. No issues.
That night, I continued my volunteer stint with Circus Flora. After the show last Sunday night, I joined with other volunteers for a party in the ring. After posing for a group picture, we enjoyed a buffet dinner with fried chicken, along with some conversation among ourselves and the performers. A very nice night.
Circus Flora's show "The Case of the Missing Bellhop" ends this weekend, and I'l be helping on the last two shows: Tonight and tomorrow night.
Last Saturday, I pulled a double volunteer shift at the Greater St. Louis Book Fair (http://stlouisbookfair.org/), which was held at the Greensfelder Recreation Complex at Queeny Park (https://www.stlouisco.com/parksandrecreation/recreationcomplexes/greensfelderrecreationcomplexinqueenypark). I helped customers in the morning shift, and was a cashier in the afternoon. In between, I did buy a few books there and got lunch. A very nice bit of help for various literacy and childcare causes.
Right after my last shift at the Book Fair, I headed to Toyota Stadium of World Wide Technology Soccer Park for Saint Louis FC's (https://www.saintlouisfc.com/) match against Portland Timbers II. Despite the cheers I and my fellow St. Louligans (http://stlouligans.com/) made, the match ended in a scoreless draw.
The next morning, I was back at World Wide Technology Soccer Park, this time to officiate under 12 girls matches in the Premier League (http://slsgsoccer.com/slsg-missouri/leagues/premier-league-2006-2009). All three matches--including my middle--went very well.
Off work on Thursday (10 May), I finished editing this month's issue of The Arch Scaler News for IPMS/Gateway (http://www.ipms-gateway.com/) (https://www.facebook.com/IPMSGateway/). I got it distributed via email and US Mail that afternoon. That night, I was at Creve Coeur Airport (http://crevecoeurairport.com/) for the Missouri Aviation Historical Society meeting. I was there to help distribute name tags and make sure members and guests signed in. A big crowd (about 80) took in a panel discussion on the 60th anniversary of the McDonnell F-4 Phantom II's first flight. This program was most interesting.
I have been working on a model I should have ready for next week's IPMS/Gateway meeting and the IPMS Region 5 Contest, MOSS CON (http://ipmsmoss.com/), in Branson, Missouri.
Later.
