This is just a friendly reminder – if you haven’t done so already – to get out and vote! Polls are open 7 am – 7 pm on Election Day (November 8). To find your local polling place visit votepinellas.gov. We recommend voting ‘Yes’ on referendum No. 1 to approve the amendment of the City’s 99-year Lease for the Dalí Museum. St. Pete Rising (stpeterising.com) published an opinion piece on why this is a good idea, and we agree. Most importantly, “The proposed expansion is expected to drive an additional 70,000 visitors and nearly $180 million in economic impact to St. Petersburg in the first year alone,” according to an independent study by Research Data Services, Inc. And it’s not expected to cost taxpayers. That’s a win-win for us.
Radius Church’s annual Thanksgiving Donation drive is happening now. Their goal this year is to feed 750 families! It is an incredible effort that would not be possible without volunteers from the community. To get involved you can donate food, volunteer your time, or give support. Check out their ad on this page for details.
From all of us at Green Bench Monthly, we wish you a joyful and Happy Thanksgiving. We’ll see you at the Turkey Trot!
