Second Session of High School Model U.N. Cancelled Due to Weather!
 We regretted to cancel last Saturday's second
session of the high school model U.N. because of the hazardous
weather in the St. Louis area. We are looking at possible
ways to reschedule the session, but nothing yet is
decided. Thanks to everyone who was responsible enough to
either read their e-mail or check our web site last Saturday
morning.

ISRAELI-CONSUL TO VISIT ST. LOUIS
 On Thursday, February 22, 2007,
Consul General Barukh Binah, an Israeli minister, will be
speaking to St. Louis area students and teachers at Soldan High
School (map). The program will
begin at 10:00 AM and run until 12:00 PM. Congressman
Lacey Clay (MO - 1st District), Congressman Russ Carnahan (MO -
3rd District), and State Representative Jeff Roorda
(District #102 - Jefferson County) will address high school
students from bi-state areas in the main auditorium at Soldan
High School. They will talk about international affairs and role
of the United Nations. This program is sponsored by Soldan High
School's Model United Nations Club in cooperation with Civitas
Associates, International Affairs Council of St. Louis and
Jewish Community Center.
We are inviting your
students and teachers associated with Civitas programs to
participate at this outstanding program. Teachers, your students
have a chance of life time to engage in a dialogue with
these speakers.

Middle School News
 The Middle School Model UN program is really
rolling! Lisa has
been busy visiting our participating schools and talking with
students about resolution writing and the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights. Last
week she visited twelve schools, and this week she'll be going
to Maplewood-Richmond Height Middle
School, St. Roch, Hixson Middle
School, Loyola Academy, and McKinley
CJA. In addition,
Arthur will be visiting with the students at Lift for Life
Academy. The students continue to
impress us with their understanding of global problems and
intelligent questions.
We can't wait to see the resolutions they produce!
Don't forget our last teachers' meeting for the
program! We'll be
meeting at The Heights on Monday, February 26th from
4:00-5:00. This is
a very important meeting-we'll be selecting resolutions for our
General Assemblies, receiving new curricular ideas to support
the program, and discussing possible changes to the fall
workshop. We look forward to seeing everyone there!

YOUR NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS & PREDICTIONS
It's
a new year and many students at last Saturday's discussion group
were interested in talking about New Year's Resolutions.
Here's an opportunity for you to share those. We also
would be most interested in your predictions for
2007!
