St.
Louis Community College Mortuary
Science President’s Letter
Hello
All, It
was brought to my attention at a recent MFDEA meeting that the St. Louis
Community College’s Mortuary Science class does not have a voice in any of the
local funeral newsletters.
So I am taking this opportunity to introduce the Mortuary department and
to get more funeral personnel involved in the many activities that are happening
this year with the students at the school. We
are off to a great start this semester.
Kyle
Clay, Jim Gramlich, Kristen Langkopf, LaRonda Willis, Ramona Revels
Chandra
Zeisset Second,
I would like to introduce the class officers that are working hard to make this
a productive year (see picture below).
We are planning many fundraisers as well as community service activities.
One of the fundraisers we recently concluded is the always popular
t-shirts sales and this year we added polo-style shirts to the selection.
All proceeds from the fundraisers including the shirt sales are going to
our class graduation dinner.
This is so we can bring ourselves and a guest to the dinner.
Robert
Curtis, Kristen Langkopf, Melissa Speight, Emily Roesslein If
you are interested in supporting your local school you can contact me through
our class blog at http://stlfuneral.wordpress.com.
Please stay tuned to future updates for more activities that help us
support our goal. For
our community service project, we held a canned food drive, collecting 200
pounds of food and fed 172.
Overall we had a good turnout for a great cause. In
closing I would like to quickly mention that several students are looking for
practicum sites and/or apprenticeship opportunities following the passing of our
boards in May. If
any funeral home in Missouri or Illinois would like to help please notify Steve
Koosman at St. Louis Community College or you can post any opportunities at the
above mentioned blog. I
look forward to hearing from you. Melissa
