Next Dor St. Louis

Happy New Year!
Ok, so we are a little late in saying it, but we still wanted to wish you a fantastic new year.  Over the last year, more than 350 people came to Next Dor for an event, to study, hang out, or meet up.  We wanted to thank all of you who have become a part of our community and have put Next Dor on the map.  
This year, we have a new roommate in the house!  Find some time to drop in and meet Benji Rowan, a mosaicist and painter who will be our new Artist-in-Residence, using the space to create art and art programs.  

What's Coming Up?
This (and every) Tuesday, Shlomo Ovadya is in the building helping you to get stretchy, relax, and breathe through yoga.  Shlomo is a certified Yoga instructor with a background in Kung-Fu and Ophanim (Kabbalah Yoga) as well.  Classes are free, but donations are welcome to support Shlomo.

How Can We Help?
Next Dor isn't all about the Benjamins, and we really do rely on people power, so if you know someone who has just moved to town, or is looking for a new job, apartment, or maybe just a new place to see music, we'd love to be introduced.
