STL Issues

1. Children's health. This is interesting to me because this issue has affected Whitfield through the changes we made to our lunches, so I wanted to see how much of an issue it is throughout STL and what is being done/can be done to improve the health of our city.
2. BandTogether: This is a free music program open to any adults that "provides an opportunity for lesbian, gay, bisexual, straight and transgendered musicians to perform and have fun in a relaxed, friendly environment." I'm interested in music, so this looks like a unique program. http://www.bandtogetherstl.com/?q=node/1
3. Beginning Babies with Books: this is a program that stresses the importance of childhood literacy and teaches kids to read. I've always liked reading, so I thought this would be interesting.
