For those of you who haven’t yet heard, the new board of SIPOA was elected and in May the first meeting took place. Many topics were discussed and many useful suggestions were made, a number of committees were formed, and all in all this was a very productive first meeting.
Discussion focused on the repair and replacement of broken monuments and statues at various street corners including along the median, as well as cleaning and painting them. Further discussion centered on more beatification projects across Snell Isle, including the possible installation of a water feature within the median.
We also discussed ways to try to engage the residents of the Isle to become more involved and more informed. For those of you who aren't aware, SIPOA has a website which will be continuously updated with current information, pictures, links to City resources, including an Alert Program to keep us all safe and informed. The web address is: www.enjoysnellisle.com. Please log on and check it out.
As a new member of the Board I volunteered to act as committee chairman of communications; and so in an effort to…ahem…communicate, I want to not only advise all the residents of the meetings, but further, I want to enlist the help of those of you who would like to give a little of your time to become more involved in the things that go on in our community. Perhaps you have a story to tell, or you took a great photo, or created a wonderful drawing? Or maybe you just wish to provide insight or information? Maybe you would like to volunteer to help at one of the functions that SIPOA promotes throughout the year? We are also looking for help with maintenance/cleaning of the monuments and statues located all over Snell Isle. Whatever it may be, I want to establish a dialogue with all of you who would like to become involved, even if it means just showing up with a smile and a handshake. I would like to provide a venue for any and all offers of engagement and assistance, so feel free to reach out to me via email at: This email address is being protected from spambots.

Officer Donald Herring – St. Petersburg Police Department
Sharing child safety tips for National Missing Children’s Day
Every year in the U.S., 465,000 children are reported missing. National Missing Children's Day, which is May 25, was created to encourage parents, guardians, caregivers, and others concerned with the well-being of children to make child safety a priority. To commemorate this day, we wanted to share the following safety tips with you:
- Teach children their contact information. Make sure your child knows his or her full name, home address and telephone number. Include this contact information in their backpack, coat, etc. Teach your child not to share this information with anyone he or she does not know without your permission.
- Practice safe social media.Talk to your children about the risks of sharing too much information on social media. Explain how "checking in" on social networks and sharing location information or routines can have negative consequences.
- Listen and ask questions. Listen if your child says someone makes him or her feel uncomfortable. Ask questions to better understand why. It is important for children to learn to trust their instincts.
- Use Nextdoor's urgent alert tool if your child goes missing or wanders away. After contacting authorities, use Nextdoor to alert your neighbors. The first few hours after a child goes missing are the most critical. Since there's typically a window of time before emergency responders can arrive, alerting your neighbors can be an essential step.

Wishing all our wonderful mothers a very special and very happy Mother’s Day. To all our current and potential moms: We thank you for all you do, will do or did for us as kids, as teenagers and hopefully as we became or will become adults. It is not easy, but you made or will make a real difference.
One last request. On this Sunday when we honor our mom, please take a moment from your busy schedules to let those others who also have helped guide you through the years (aunts, cousins, friends or otherwise) know how much you appreciate their help and friendship.
Remember, life doesn’t come with a manual, it comes with a mother. All it takes is just a smile and a “thank-you, Mom”. It will mean everything ! ! !
