Esperanto Association of St. Louis
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, the Esperanto Society of Chicago, and the Esperanto Club at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign.
We meet on the third Sunday of every month (well, almost every month -- we are skipping the June meeting because it's Father's Day) at 1:30 pm at the University City Public Library, 6701 Delmar, in room 2 at the top of the main staircase.
St. Louis hosted the national Esperanto conference in May 2009! The weekend included three excursions, several interesting talks, a banquet, an auction, and a movie night. Attendees also Skyped with fellow Esperanto speakers in other countries.
We also hosted the Mez-Usona Regiona Konferenco in May 2004.
Aside from our regular meetings and conversation groups, we have enjoyed barbecues, banquets, 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. We have used 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.
