Greetings!

The newspaper of record for St. Johns County -- the St. Augustine Record -- has weighed in on the Outpost controversy. Opinion Editor Jim Sutton cuts right to the heart of the matter in his spot-on editorial "Thrilla in Tranquila heads to extra rounds." Please give it a read and a share. It's confirmation that the notion of developing the Outpost property really is as absurd as it seems - in addition to not being compliant with land codes.

We were also pleased to see Jake Martin's extensive coverage in both the St. Augustine Record and the Times Union, as well as The Beaches Leader's front page coverage of the latest updates. All three papers included comments from our attorney, Jane West, in their reporting on Ponte Vedra Corporation's recent Motion to lift abatement.

As we learn more, we will continue to keep you informed.

Eggnog 'n Ornaments fundraiser.... Just a reminder that Sunday is a great opportunity to help fund our efforts, get together with fellow advocates, and pick up some beautiful ornaments and gifts. Sunday, Dec. 17, from 2 to 6. All proceeds will go to Save Guana Now. Last year's ornaments were very popular - featuring animals of Guana (give or take a reindeer). Ornaments by Cody Foster, Bethany Lowe and others.

Address: 1169 Neck Rd. off of Mickler in Ponte Vedra.

Pillows, Christmas stockings and other gifts will also be available. Hope to see you there!
