How: $10 online http://www.ashanet.org/stlouis/Dan…
           or at the door
Who: DJ Dhol Raj, Your friends and You
Why: 100% of proceeds will educate underprivileged children in India



Come out and bhangra with us. There will be LIVE DHOL (Indian dance-drum). Bring your friends, bring your lovers, bring your moves!

Also, I have been working for this charity group for nearly 10 years & can attest to its intentions and actions. Asha is rated 4 stars (highest rating) by Charity Navigator, which audits and reviews charities. Asha also has ZERO overheads - this means that every donation dollar goes directly to underprivileged children in India. All records are public and it's a 401c3, which means donations are tax deductible.

Tickets for this event are not a "donation", because you're going to be buying boat-loads-of-bollywood-fun! But the proceeds go entirely to educating underprivileged children.

Does anyone know of any local basketball courts (outdoor AND/OR indoor, but preferably full-court in either case) that don't require a reservation or any payment to play on them? Preferably ones that are not in frequent use, too. Many thanks!

My friend Jim Eubanks is starting a yoga/core strength training class in the Central West End.

The class is every Thursday from 6-6:45. Cost is $5.00 per session. Walk-ins welcome.

Location: First Unitarian Church of St. Louis in the Central West End by Barnes-Jewish Hospital, 5007 Waterman Blvd, St. Louis, MO. Take exit 36B off of 64/40 and continue towards the hospital for about a mile, then take a left on Waterman; the Church is on the northwest corner of Waterman and Kingshighway.

Does anyone have a favorite hiking trail (or trails) around the metro area?

I love the Lewis and Clark trail (out near Weldon Springs), I've heard good things about Castlewood State Park, and I'd like to check out Shaw Nature Reserve. Anywhere else?

Could you point me in the right direction?
I'm looking for a studio that teaches dance, meditaion, or martial arts. I'm considering getting back into Tai Chi or Chi Kung (or try something new). I'd also like to try modern dance.
I'd also like to know of any fun places to volunteer.
Any suggestion would be appreciated...thanks :)

I know i've been asking a lot of "where is" questions. Is there a general source out there on the web about whats cool in St Louie?

Are there any pools in the area (City or Stouis County) that're open till 9:00pm, or preferably later? Something like Riverchase in Fenton or The Lodge in Des Peres would be great, but any lap pool would be good.......

I'm looking for two resources either downtown-centric or convenient to the I-40 corridor between downtown and the county.

1. A nutritionist (nothing fad or too 'new age', just someone who can give good ideas about eating from the food pyramid and menu planning for lazy people).

2. Personal trainer or gym with alternatives to the usual basic cardio. This one definitely needs to be convenient to downtown without being too expensive. I go to Gold's Gym but could use something tailored to get outside of the 'gym' mode but also to use the gym smarter. Looking for more of a 'consultation' and maybe buying a week of training that I can do on my own later than someone on a long-term basis.

Any suggestions would be great!!

Does anyone know how the 24 hour access works at that gym off hampton and chippewa? And for how much?

Does anyone know what their membership fee and/or mothly fee is?
