Summary

Podcast hosts outlined Thanksgiving office closures, local tree lightings and parades, volunteer openings with a Dec. 12 application deadline, Pets on Parade on Dec. 10 and the Martin CARES registration opening.

Martin County’s communications podcast ran through a series of holiday announcements for residents, including county office closures, community events, volunteer recruitment and animal-adoption opportunities.

The hosts said county offices and county libraries will be closed for Thanksgiving on Thursday, Nov. 27, and that many county facilities will also be closed Friday; they noted that “Marty” will be closed Thursday only and resume normal operations on Friday. (The recording did not explain what or who "Marty" refers to.)

Community events listed included the Jensen Beach tree lighting on Tuesday, Dec. 2 at 6:15 p.m.; the Stewart night parade on Friday, Dec. 5 at 7 p.m.; the Hobe Sound Christmas parade on Saturday, Dec. 6 at 1 p.m.; and the Indiantown parade on Saturday, Dec. 6 at 4 p.m. Winterfest was listed for Friday, Dec. 12 at 5:30 p.m. at The Mansion at Tuckahoe; the hosts said details on performances and vendors would appear in the show notes.

The hosts said Donna spoke at the board meeting about openings on several advisory bodies — the Drug and Alcohol Abuse Awareness Committee, Affordable Housing advisory work, the Airport Noise Advisory Committee (ANAC) and the Industrial Development Authority — and that applications are due Friday, Dec. 12. Listeners were told to contact Donna with questions; the podcast indicated application instructions would be placed in the show notes.

Pets on Parade will be held at the Administration Building on Dec. 10; the Humane Society planned to accept donations and bring animals for adoption. Hosts also described a “home for the holidays” foster option that lets residents foster an animal for the holidays, with the option to keep it afterward; hosts Stefan and coworker Dana were cited as having participated previously.

Finally, the hosts promoted Martin CARES and said registration is open for residents who want to learn about county programs and services. The episode closed with Thanksgiving messages and thanks to listeners.
