Classic Movies, Old AND New

Fenton, MO

*People often ask me, "What* **IS** *a Classic Movie?". Well, one thing for sure is that it doesn't HAVE to be made before you were born* **AND** *it doesn't HAVE to be in B&W.* **It MAY be both** *but, on the contrary, it may have come out in 2023 at Christmastime, like **Alexander Payne's*** [The Holdovers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holdovers "The Holdovers"). *A Classic Movie is a* **GREAT** \*movie that stands the test of time but may not be truly appreciated in its own time, like \*\*Frank Capra's \**[It's a Wonderful Life](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_a_Wonderful_Life "It's a Wonderful Life") (1946).* MISSION STATEMENT: Let's get together and watch GREAT movies of ALL eras & genres on The Big Screen *AND* at small events at members’ homes! Our goal is not JUST seeing the best movies of both the past *AND* today, but making time afterward to talk about them and perhaps even becoming Film Friends. There will also occasionally be events related to other areas of the Arts and local culture. ***And each year we have an Oscars Party!*** Although based in Fenton, MO, we will host events throughout the Metropolitan area, on BOTH sides of the Mississippi *AND* Missouri Rivers, including both St. Charles County and Edwardsville, IL! We are looking for an ACTIVE membership, which for us means you'll attend at least ONE event each year. Please submit a recent "selfie" profile photo when you join so we can easily recognize you at our doorsteps and in public places. Profile photos are most effective when they include only one human being and when that human being is not wearing sunglasses =OR= a hat. I hope you'll also consider supporting my wife, Shirley's, plant-based eating group: [https://www.meetup.com/plant-based-stl/](https://www.meetup.com/plant-based-stl/) **Established Monday, 11/19/2018!**

BLEXIT & The NEW Underground Railroad

Saint Louis, MO

This Meetup is designed for those who seek to help African-Americans finally obtain the freedom promised by Dr. Martin Luther King, overcoming those last few remaining chains of slavery: racism, dependency, the Democrat Party, and the self-defeating and erroneous belief that their progress in some way depends upon the beneficence of White people. This Meetup was founded by Mason Weaver, a former Black militant and radio call-in show host, and the author of It's OK to Leave the Plantation.

Dudes Dining & Destinations

Saint Louis, MO

**PLEASE read all of this:** Welcome to Dudes, Dining, & Destinations! We're a group for **men-interested-in-men** who want to connect with like-minded guys and make new friends. We're all about expanding our social circle. Our main thing is dining out and we pick restaurants in the St. Louis area to suit various budgets. However, we also want to spice things up with fun activities like attending local events, enjoying live theater, or maybe bowling or mini golf. If you have an event or idea in mind, feel free to share it with us. Typically, we have two monthly events with a primary focus on dining out, but stay tuned for other interesting possibilities. **Important things to consider:** **RSVPs are essential to ensuring an accurate headcount.** Restaurants need to plan on sufficient help and food to accommodate our group. Therefore, no-shows end up costing them. Also, keep in mind that someone on the waiting list has an opportunity to go if you update your “going” status to “not going.” If you don’t show up without letting us know, they miss out. **If you have to cancel,** please do so before the day of the event. This way I can let the restaurant know in time for them to adjust their plans accordingly. **If the event is filled up, don’t worry!** You will automatically be placed on the waiting list. As the event date approaches, make sure to check your status. **Be courteous and patient.** Also, **make sure to order something.** And remember to **tip generously**, as our events require extra hard work from the waiting staff. We want to ensure a positive experience for everyone. **These are usually family-friendly restaurants,** so keep your language family-friendly—especially when little ears are near. **Be mindful of attire.** We look for affordable but nice restaurants. Sometimes (especially in summer), a nice T-shirt is OK. But more often, casual attire would be more appropriate. **It’s not about cruising. It’s not about hookups.** Our objective is to socialize and have fun in environments that are an alternative to the bar scene. The events are opportunities for guys to hang out and meet new friends where sex and alcohol aren’t what it’s all about. Of course, if you hit it off with someone who shares your interests, that's fantastic! But keep in mind that isn’t the primary purpose. **Hate has no place in our group.** Dudes, Dining, and Destinations is a pro-diversity, anti-racist Meetup group. **Smoking is not allowed at any of our events.** **Thanks for joining** us! We can't wait to see you at our next dining event.

Saint Louis Area Lesbian Community Group

Saint Louis, MO

This is a private group for lesbians / queer women who are interested in meeting new people who have similar interests.

-If you are interested in being a part of a community of women who get together to do all kinds of fun activities, then this is the group for YOU!

All members can request to become an event host if they want to have the ability to add and host their own events. The idea behind this is to get more women involved in creating events so that it is not just a couple of people planning events. This will increase the variety and number of events occurring in the group and will hopefully help us to feel that this really is a community group and will allow us to expand our circle of friends while doing things we love to do or trying new things that we've always wanted to try but didn't want to do it alone.

St. Louis Travelers

Saint Louis, MO

**ST. LOUIS TRAVELERS** **ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI** **Check out our website at:** **[https://www.stlouistravelers.com/](https://www.stlouistravelers.com/)** **We are a social, physically active group of people who like to travel and learn about exciting destinations and cultures around the world. I cannot stress this statement enough. Walking is an essential part of our tours. We average 4-6 miles per day while on tour. Just walking through the average international airport can be a long way if you are not used to it. If this sounds like something that you cannot physically do at a fairly brisk pace, then we are not the right group for you.** **We meet often for social events, to sample ethnic restaurants and attend travel lectures. We often attend benefits and cultural festivals of all types, especially those involving music, art, film or dance. For this reason, we need a recognizable, RECENT photo for membership, along with a real name, not an acronym. When we look for you at a meeting, we need to know who to look for. This is for our safety as well as yours.** **A large percentage of our members are looking for travel buddies. Are you? Some of our members have found compatible travel partners and are now happily planning trips together. Your chances of finding new friends and travel partners increases greatly when you post an up-to-date photo of yourself, along with a well-written profile.** **We think our club is the friendliest, most welcoming Meetup group in town! Come find out for yourself! We travel together on group tours three to four times per year. Our trips average 9-14 days, but can be longer. We often add extensions on the front or back of the tours, to get the most from our airfare dollars. I may add a hiking experience, private tour, or kayaking tour to the trip, for the enjoyment of everyone and to get a closer look at the places we visit.** **If you'd like to join our group, please complete your profile and add a photo of yourself. To get the most out of your affiliation with our group, don't just sign up and forget us! RSVP for some of our events to make new friends and learn more about the world.** **\- Your organizer\, Jo**
