October 2025 – Gateway Lego Users Group

On May 16, 2025, the St. Louis area was hit by a large, destructive tornado. A number of schools were significantly damaged by the storm, impacting their ability to finish the year and even open in the Fall. GtwLUG earmarked part of our charity funds this year to supporting one of the schools affected, and on Wednesday, October 29th two of our club members were able to drop off our donation of 12 LEGO Education BricQ Motion Prime kits to Dr. Christopher Crumble, the principal of Yeatman-Liddell College Preparatory Middle School, which is currently operating out of another school building while the school is being rebuilt. Thanks to club members Zac, Derrek, and Karen (not pictured) for delivering the donation.

Gateway LUG is proud to be invited back to a great charity event. One of our members and his wife are once again putting on a show to raise money to support clean water and sanitation efforts in the developing world, through the charity World Vision International. This is a one-day LEGO event in Edwardsville, IL with all proceeds going to the charitable donation (they are covering overhead expenses themselves). More information can be found on the Bricks for Water Facebook page.
