In an earlier post I mentioned the Village of Pinecrest’s art in public places campaign to raise money for the public schools in Pinecrest. Please consider joining the other sponsors and sponsor a dog. Stay tuned for future blogs regarding Smarty Dogs and other art in public places.
Although it was a wet weekend for this year’s Regatta, the photos by Marco Oquendo are spectacular and show the participants having a good time. I hope the weather next year is more typical of Miami in October!
Smarty Dogs are popping up all over Pinecrest. It is an art in public places campaign that is being promoted to raise funds for the public schools in the Village of Pinecrest. If you or your company would like to sponsor one of the dogs, there is still time. The dogs will be auctioned off in March of 2012.
Congress should hurry up and enact the pending Colombia, Panama, and South Korea Free Trade Agreements. Columbia and Panama are two of South Florida’s largest trade partners. The Obama Administration estimates that the FTA with Colombia alone will increase U.S. exports by $1 billion and that the one with South Korea will add 70,000 jobs.
South Florida will benefit from this increase in trade. Increased trade equals increase in employment equals a more stable real estate market.
One of the things I love about South Florida is how easy it is to fly to other places. A couple of weekends ago, some friends invited my husband and me to Bimini Bay for a long weekend. It took me longer to drive from the office to Tamiami airport than the 23 minute flight on LuxAir Charters from Tamiami to Bimini!
The crystal clear blue water, local hospitality, laid back atmosphere and Kalik beer made a three day weekend feel like a weeklong vacation.
Tomorrow is a Fee-Free Play Day at Deering Estate.
