Editing St. Louis Council

The St. Louis Council BBYO, a part of Mid-America Region #1, is focused in and around the St. Louis JCC. Chapters come here for meetings every Tuesday night, and BBG chapters often have programming on these nights. 

On the AZA side, Esperanto AZA #2486 as well as Albert Einstein AZA #1287 and the recently founded Achim AZA represent this community.

On the BBG side, Shira BBG is also pertinent to St. Louis, and is the home of Gabby Mesnier, the 70th International Aym HaChaverot. 

In the year 2013-2014, Mesnier and Gabe Raskin served as the Regional Presidents, leading the region to a firm place in the International Order. As a part of MAR, they are credited with the 2014 Spirit Cup. 

Upon their leaving, Sam Kahn of Esperanto AZA #2486 took the throne at Godol and Michelle Koverman at N'siah. During his tenure, Kahn lifted St. Louis into a new zone. They became the first region in the Order to hit a membership goal, hitting it prior to IC and receiving recognition there, strengthened each chapter, and created new initiatives and ideas in the region. Kahn is well regarded as one of the strongest Godols to walk through St. Louis. Koverman did her part too, and then passed down the throne to her sister, Simona, for the 2015-16 year. 

Kahn passed the throne to Max Baron of Esperanto, who led the council through 2015-2016. Baron is also coordinating CLTC 2 2016. 

Next to assume the title of Council Godol is Brandon Bleyer, of Einstein AZA.
