Diny’s Jewelers is indeed one of the treasures of Treasure Island. Paradise NEWS has been referring customers to Beverly Diny for five years and many have become friends.
A diamond expert, originally from Wisconsin, Beverly fell in love with Treasure Island. Besides giving locals great value on precious metals and diamond jewelry, Beverly helps locals purchase and sell collectibles.
On Thursday, March 31, 2022 10am to 7pm, for example, she is hosting a Singer Estate Jewelry Event. Their amazing $3 million collection is interesting, nostalgic, and fun to wander through. About 650 pieces of antique and vintage jewelry starting at $500, and celebrity items never before seen in Treasure Island will be offered for one day only.
Celebrity collectible items include items from such stars as: Michael Jackson, Prince Elvis, Buster Keaton, Rose Marie, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Joan Collins, Sid Caesar, Elizabeth Taylor, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon.
If you have collectibles you will consider parting with, Beverly is once again hosting estate buyers, National Rarities Tuesday-Thursday, April 26-28. (see ad on page 50)
Sellers at that event can opt for a credit of 20% more in store credit than they are offered in cash for their items. Diny’s charge is also available.
Tampa Bay Watch
Turns 29
Tampa Bay Watch is celebrating its 29th anniversary by thanking the entire community for supporting bay restoration and education programs. Each volunteer, member, partner, and sponsor truly make a difference and plays a key role in the important work that Tampa Bay Watch does.
Since 1993, these people have helped them coordinate more than 250,000 volunteers, students, and campers, install 15,000 oyster reef units and 2,500 tons of oyster shell to create more than two miles of oyster shell reef communities, and plant more than 1,000,000 native grasses to restore 250 acres of coastal tidal ponds.
They are seeking unpaid college interns to assist with their summer camp program at both the Discovery Center and their Marine Education Center in Tierra Verde. The internship will be serving students ages 6-15 and each summer camp location offers weekly, fun-filled, hands-on learning adventures focused on marine ecology.
Upcoming volunteer opportunities include reef ball construction twice a week to a native grass planting on Saturday, 3/26. Opportunities to get involved with habitat restoration over the next month abound! Brick Street Farms partnered with @byosolar to take their new urban hub model to a whole new level of sustainable farming! They worked closely on a solar design that will not only provide enough energy to power our container farms, but through the design and placement of the panels, rainwater will be collected, filtered, and used to water the plants inside. The unique design allows their grow hubs to function as sustainable, renewable farm plots.
Charlie Crist reported that Eckerd College will supplement its ongoing work to reduce ocean pollution resulting from single-use plastics. Awarded as part of the EPA’s Gulf of Mexico Program, a $500,000 grant will provide funding for Eckerd to create a mobile application that will help Pinellas County residents digitally track their single-use plastic consumption with the goal of keeping waste out of the Gulf of Mexico. As a member of the powerful House Appropriations Committee, Crist was able to secure $20 million for the Gulf of Mexico Geographic Program in Fiscal Year 2021.
