The members of the Esperanto Association of
St. Louis enjoy using and promoting
the international second language: Esperanto. If you live in the
St. Louis area, we hope you'll come to one of our events. Other
clubs in the midwest include the Esperanto Association of
Kansas City and the Esperanto Society of Chicago.
Mez-Usona Regiona Konferenco:
Some Esperanto speakers from Illinois joined us for
meals, discussions and Esperanto films on Saturday, May 15, 2004.
We hope that another midwestern club will plan another MURK so we can
visit them!
Monthly Meetings:
- Throughout most of the year, we meet on the third
Sunday of each month beginning at 1:30 p.m., and beginners are very
welcome. We meet on the second floor of the
University City Public Library on Delmar Boulevard at Kingsland
Avenue, halfway between Big Bend Blvd. and Skinker Blvd. ***
We did not having a meeting in December 2005. Our
banquet was on Sun. December 11, and we are cancelled the meeting that
would normally occur on Sunday, December
18, 2005. ***
- Throughout most of the year, our conversation group
meets on the first Friday of each month, 6:00 p.m., at Wild
Oats on Ladue, which is near 170. Beginners
are welcome!
Educational and Social Activities:
Aside from our regular meetings and conversation
groups, we enjoy barbecues, games nights, sightseeing trips,
and other special events.
These two photos are from our excursion to the
town of Hermann, a part of Missouri
Wine Country. On other occasions, our club has visited
places such as the St.
Louis Zoo, the Missouri Botanical Garden, and the Saint Louis Art Museum. This
year, we will be visiting Laumeier Sculpture Park. We use
these ekskursojn (excursions) and our monthly conversation
groups to practice using Esperanto and to expand our vocabularies.
Our group has participated twice in the International
FolkFest in Queeny Park and once in the Festival of Nations at
Tower Grove Park. At our information table, we displayed
various Esperanto books and magazines, passed out brochures and
magnets, and talked with plenty of interesting and friendly people.

These events feature international music, dancing,
and food; they are sponsored by the International Institute of St. Louis.
Our club members made the arrangements for the 47th annual convention
of the Esperanto League for
North America, which was held here in St. Louis in July 1999.
This was a lot of work, but we felt like it was worth it!
