Invite your family and friends, bring your lawn chairs and coolers. After months of searching, a neighbor on Snell Isle, Kurt Shallenberger, has agreed to entertain us with a little music at the event. We hope you'll join us. All are welcome!
For those who drive across the 40th Ave bridge to Shore Acres and take Overlook into Snell Isle, your commute will be disrupted in the very near future. There is an article in the March Panther, but since that went to press, the city has delayed the bridge closure a few days. High winds will impact the ability to move the cranes safely this weekend as planned, therefore the bridge is now scheduled to close down both lanes on March 6 (5:00 AM) until 5:00 PM on March 11th.
Given that the whole bridge will be closed for that time, a significant amount of traffic will re-route through Snell Isle over the 34th or 22nd Ave entrances. Be aware and plan for a little extra time. If you wish to read about the bridge construction project, you can see more details here: http://www.40thavenuebridge.com/

UPDATE!Hit The Mitt and Saint Pete Girl Bosses are very grateful for the Snell Isle resident contributions for our younger neighbors in south Florida. They appreciate your help and are wrapping things up for now until they are made aware of further needs. Thank you again for your concern and efforts.
One way Snell Isle residents can directly help those impacted by Hurricane Ian is by providing supplies. Hit the Mitt and Saint Pete Girl Bosses are partnering to deliver new and gently used adult and children's clothing to southwest Florida. They are also asking for sports equipment donations they will deliver to rec centers and schools who may be able to help the kids while their families are dealing with the aftermath and trauma of the storm.
Catherine Nelke, our Snell Isle neighbor, and founder of Hit the Mitt, has offered to be the drop-off point for your donations. Catherine is at 1220 Monterey Blvd NE. If you have questions, please email Catherine at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Thank you Catherine, and all those who will provide donations to send down to southwest Florida.
We hope you'll join your neighbors, and bring your friends to the Snell Isle Food Truck Friday event on Oct 7th. Maggie On The Move and Churned Ice Cream will be providing our dinner and dessert treats that evening. Both trucks accept cash and credit cards.
Bring your lawn chairs and enjoy your meal along the parkway at Snell Isle Boulevard, in front of the Vinoy Golf Course. The trucks begin serving at 5:30 PM and will be there until approx 8:00 PM.
As we have done in the past, our featured charity is Mercy Keepers, a 501 c 3 organization. They serve those in need around St. Pete. We asked them what we could contribute and they said they will be providing Thanksgiving meal items to their clients. So if you are inclined to donate, please bring boxed mashed potatoes, canned cranberries, canned green beans, stuffing and/or gravy. Mercy Keepers also requested reusable shopping bags. Several neighbors routinely bring cash or personal checks made out to the charity. Event organizer, Kristin Bitter, collects those as well and delivers them to the charity along with the goods donated.
We hope to see everyone out on Friday night at Food Truck Friday!
