Greetings,
Turning the corner from July to August, we fine a surprisingly robust calendar of events before us in the coming days. Take a few minutes to look through the calendar listings to find some truly delightful and worthwhile opportunities.
For those preparing for Back-To-School activities, it’s the annual tax-free shopping weekend for school supplies. August 2 through 6 consumers pay zero state and local option taxes on clothes and shoes ($60 or less per item), school supplies ($15 or less pet item) and computers ($1,000 or less per item) purchased for noncommercial home or personal use, according to the Florida Department of Revenue. http://floridarevenue.com/backtoschool/Pages/default.aspx
Thanks to our Great Gables sponsors for helping us bring this weekly email newsletter to the residents of Coral Gables.
