I work for an organization that brings Internationals here on internships in the U.S. They are all young professionals who come for at least one year. I have several here in St. Louis who would like to participate in various activities with other internationals as well as Americans. I would encourage anyone that is interested in different cultures to participate. All members are invited to host family dinners, activities, and social gatherings. I will also be planning various events around St. Louis. I want to also encourage internationals of all ages that have made St. Louis their home to join us. My hope is that everyone involved can make new friends and contacts.

*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!**

I want to start a diverse group of good, honest, self motived, smart, unselfish resellers. Preferably people who have sold online. There will be so many times to meetup in relation to business but I WANT TO IMMEDIATELY START FIGURING OUT HOW WE CAN HELP EACH OTHER. I don't want to just set meetings a month away and waste 30 days of things we can be doing to put money in each other's pocket. I want the groups individuals to lay out what they bring to the table so we can find ways we can mutually benefit each other. If you sell online, if you sell at flea markets/events, willing to host online auctions, have a lot of merchandise to wholesale, trade, consign. There are 2 sides to each item listed. Someone with merchandise matched with someone without merchandise who want to make a percentage to sell the others merchandise. Someone who does auctions but wants to be behind the scenes. With someone who will be the host of the auction and get a percentage. Someone with a lot of knowledge with someone who wants to learn the resell business and they are self motivated and smart enough to figure out how they can be an asset. People living in different areas can post each other's items in their local area groups to increase the amount of people seeing your merchandise and able to meet in your area. People selling at flea markets or events and willing to sell others good items for a percentage. If you can come up with more ways to help each other please let us know.
