Coffee with the Mayor

Some of the best ideas and conversations are had over coffee! The advantage of being in a close-knit community like Olivette means we have more opportunities to interact with one another.

We look forward to seeing you on February 8th at 8:45 am (1140 Dielman Rd) to learn more about the Comprehensive Plan. 

A major focus of the Comprehensive Plan update will be to engage with the community to reevaluate and develop the vision for the next 20 years. The City urges you to be proactive and engage in the planning process. 

Guests:
Dawn Doty, Olivette Senior Planner 
Beth Quindry, Senior Project Manager at Shockey Consulting.

Youth Baseball

The aspects of life and sports go hand in hand. While rounding the bases on the diamond, kids aren’t necessarily thinking about the skills they’re developing or how they’re actually preparing for the adult world. They may know that it’s healthy to keep their bodies moving or it’s fun to make lasting friendships on their little league team, but the benefits of playing youth baseball go way beyond that. 

Children who participate in sports quickly learn both physical and mental skills that they will carry with them well into adulthood.

Olivette is hosting spring baseball! Individual and group sign-ups are available. 

Registration is open.
