Mentors sought for students' robotics teams

The St. Louis Crisis Nursery will host its 18th annual Celebrity Waiters & Waitresses Night from 5:30 to 11 p.m. on Aug. 21 at Monarch Restaurant, 7401 Manchester Road.

More than 50 local celebrities will help serve Monarch's upscale cuisine and drinks. Any tips they earn will benefit the Crisis Nursery. To make a reservation, call Monarch at 314-644-3995.

The event raised more than $72,000 last year and the organization has set a goal of $100,000 for 2008.

An After Party hosted by the group's Young Professionals Board will be held across the street at Jive and Wail at 9 p.m. with free admission for all Monarch dinner patrons.

The Crisis Nursery provides short-term, safe havens for children whose families are faced with emergencies or crises. For more information about the group, go to crisisnurserykids.org.
