Invest STL Know Your Neighborhoods: Maplewood and Presentation by Top Grant Applicants

Invest STL is making another stop in our Know Your Neighborhoods series! Get on board as we travel to Maplewood to learn about their history, their visions for the future, and the incredible work being done to create a great community.

Come mingle at Schlafly Bottleworks and watch a presentation on community development in Maplewood. In addition to our Know Your Neighborhoods programming, you will also get a chance to listen to the top 5 grant applicants present their mission, values, and projects they are proposing to improve St. Louis communities. One of these organizations will receive our first ever grant.

Join us and show your love of community on August 28th at 6:30 p.m. at Schlafly Bottleworks to learn about the community improvement activity in Maplewood and more.

Tickets for this event will be a little different from in the past. Tickets are free, but you will have the option to donate to Invest STL if you would like to continue to help us grow and begin raising money toward our next fundraising goal of $25,000. Food and drinks will be available for purchase. Ticket donation proceeds to go support Invest STL.

Schlafly Beer is donating 50 free beers to this event. The first 50 people to register for this event and make at least a 6 dollar donation through Eventbrite (www.kynmaplewoodpresentation.eventbrite.com) will get a free beer ticket at the door. Thank you Schlafly Bottleworks for your generosity. We are excited to welcome a new friend to Invest STL.
