The Mission Continues is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization empowers veterans who are adjusting to life at home to find purpose through community impact. We deploy veterans on new missions in their communities, so that their actions will inspire future generations to serve. Our operations in cities across the country deploy veteran volunteers alongside non-profit partners and community leaders to solve some of the most challenging issues facing our communities: improving community education resources, eliminating food deserts, mentoring at-risk youth and more. Through this unique model, veterans build new skills and networks that help them successfully reintegrate to life after the military while making long-term, sustainable transformations in communities and inspiring future generations to serve.
Since receiving its 501(c)3 status in 1986, Gateway Greening has developed five core programs to address these urban concerns: 1. The Community Gardens Program has helped start and support more than 200 community gardens in the St. Louis area. These gardens have inspired, educated, and reflected the pride of the program's participants, and have often become community focal points and catalysts for neighborhood improvement. 2. The Youth Program supports 75 school and youth-focused gardens in St. Louis, and works to change young lives by involving at-risk youth in sustainable food production and garden-based education. 3. Whitmire City Seeds Urban Farm, located at Market and Pine streets on two and a half acres of land in the heart of the city, is an urban agriculture initiative providing job training and therapeutic horticulture to homeless and underserved individuals. A collaboration of several local organizations, the farm produces and distributes affordable, healthy, and locally grown produce. 4. Urban Roots engages volunteers from gardening, educational, business, and horticultural "green" industries, as well as non-profit service communities, to enhance the downtown St. Louis urban landscape through large-scale seasonal plantings. 5. Hub Gardens are gardens that serve communities and local schools. These hub gardens provide educational opportunities, as well as technical assistance for gardeners. In addition, Hub Gardens provide helpful services such as vegetable gardening workshops, food preparation demonstrations, seedling propagation, and tool lending.

IATSE Local 6 has been serving the St. Louis region since 1890 and though some of the skills required of our technicians have changed since then, we take pride in, and a pro-active approach to, serving our clients by providing well-trained professionals with a positive work ethic. Clients considering hosting an event in the St. Louis region can rely on us for courteous, conscientious service and attention to detail from setup (load-in) to operation (rehearsals and performances) to tear-down (load-out). We are a full-service referral hall catering to the areas of entertainment lighting, audio, video, scenic, rigging, and personnel management. Many of our technicians hold certifications in these disciplines that are recognized as the industry standard for safe and ethical practices in the workplace. Local 6 considers safety to be paramount to our work and requires all members to maintain OSHA 10 safety knowledge at a minimum. How do I know if Local 6 can provide technicians to suit my particular needs? Below are examples of the particular work that we execute every day across the region. Carpentry Scenic construction, assembly, automation, along with props construction makes up the bulk of the work our carpentry professionals perform. Our carpenters are well versed in many construction techniques from traditional carpentry to metalworking in steel, aluminum and composite materials. Having constructed award-winning sets and iconic scenic elements, we take pride in precision and attention to detail. Rigging Rigging construction, assembly, calculations, operation, arena systems, theatrical systems including fly systems (St. Louis is home to several working single purchase systems and one long standing “hemp house”). Currently, twenty percent (20%) of our rigging professionals hold their ETCP Certification in arena and/or theatrical rigging and our emphasis on training and education improves on that number annually. Audio Audio systems assembly, operation, and maintenance keep our audio technicians busy but this does not represent the limit of the scope of work that they do. Our technicians provide mixing services, both front-of-house and monitors along with console (control desk) knowledge across multiple manufacturer platforms. Audio-visual recording and broadcasting and associated peripheral equipment expertise comes standard. Whether your system is state-of-the-art or a microphone and powered speakers, our technicians will work with you to provide the best possible audio experience for your guests. Lighting & Power When it comes to lighting and power systems; assembly, operation, and maintenance are just the tip of the iceberg. Our technicians have the skills and expertise to get entire concert rigs for major events or “two lights on booms” up and running. Followspot operation, console (control desk) programming knowledge across multiple manufacturer platforms, dimming, intelligent lighting and accessory expertise, along with safe, practical power distribution knowledge round out the extensive capabilities of our technicians. Video Video work from camera operation to switching and from “confidence” monitors to full video walls, our technical skills go well beyond standard screens and projectors. Teleprompting falls under the video aspect of our work and we have technicians who are well versed in the setup and operation of nearly every professional-grade teleprompting software/system available. Administration Our offices have undergone significant upgrades in technology (and still are). From streamlined referral processing and pay rolling to state-of-the-art software developments that integrate the entire process from the point a labor request is made through the final pay roll invoice, Local 6 prides itself on providing a user-friendly approach to labor needs. We believe that timely, accurate, and professional service is the key to ensuring that our customers, both current and future, receive the best possible service before and after the event. We believe that a well-trained professional work force is the key to the best possible service during the event. We promote positive, self-motivated, industry professionals and seek to populate our referral roster with individuals who represent the very best the trade has to offer. We benefit from an industry where the work cannot readily be outsourced. (It is difficult to have someone in another city/country set up the event right here!) As a result we are committed to providing the best possible service in the region and we look forward to every opportunity to prove this commitment. Local 6 welcomes your comments and questions and we are here to serve you. Feel free to contact us directly.

The volunteer firefighters proposed and organized a fire district in 1953, thereby having the power to collect taxes to support department operations. District boundaries were laid out to cover 47 square miles in South St. Louis County. By the end of 1953, the voters of the area approved the incorporation of the Mehlville Fire Protection District (MFPD) and elected three directors. In 1969, forty-one firefighters joined together and petitioned the International Association of Fire Firefighters for membership, becoming IAFF Local 1889. In 2012, Mehlville Firefighters joined Professional Fire Fighters of Eastern Missouri IAFF Local 2665 and continue their pride and dedication of serving the citizens of the Mehlville Fire District. Currently, the Mehlville Fire Protection District provides fire protection and emergency medical services to a population of 110,000 residents in fifty-two square miles of South St. Louis County. The District consists of seven stations with seven engine companies (including two seventy-five foot quints), an all-terrain pumper, a heavy rescue squad, a one-hundred foot aerial platform and six ALS ambulances. Personnel consist of firefighters, paramedics and administrative staff. It is anticipated that the District will respond to nearly 13000 calls during 2014. The District currently holds an Insurance Services Organization (ISO) rating of Protection Class Three. The assessed valuation of the District’s currently stands at $2,227,618,170.
