“Evening of Entertainment – A Competitive Spotlight on Abilities” Talent Contest: THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT TO SUPPORT OUR ANNUAL EVENT! What a huge success! We had 25 performers showcase their talents in singing, dancing, magic, poetry reciting, playing an instrument, telling jokes, and just plain dazzling the stage with the joy of performing. Every dollar earned is used to provide scholarships to people with disabilities to offset the cost of recreation programs of their choice. We look forward to another amazing event  and the talent that will return to the stage next year in 2027.

Proposition RT (Prop RT)

Proposition RT (Prop RT), Vote coming up on Tuesday, April 7. Prop RT is a St. Charles County ballot measure is a state bill that could reshape how local property taxes work in Missouri. These changes would limit funding for services supported by property taxes, including local schools, libraries, fire protection, and the DDRB of St. Charles County, which funds essential services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. If approved, Prop RT would change how property tax revenues are calculated, frozen at current levels, or cap property taxes, which will restrict future revenue growth and the ability to expand services. Educate yourself about Prop RT at www.ddrb.org/tax-impact.
