5 Things to Know Today: Wednesday, May 2
Today is the last day to donate your rocking chair, and Patch needs your help!
1) Expect a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon, otherwise it should be mostly sunny, with a high near 88, according to the National Weather Service. Tonight, expect partly cloudy skies. The is low is 71.
2) Need a cheap fill? The lowest reported gas price in Dunedin is $3.67 (cash, regular) at the Super Shop, 1001 Broadway, on TampaGasPrices.com.
3) Today is the last day to donate an old rocking chair in time for the Relay for Life event this Friday at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium. A team wants to decorate the chairs purple and have them available for those unable to walk during the all-night fundraiser for the Dunedin chapter of the American Cancer Society. (Click here for info on donating your chair.)
4) The Dunedin High School Band did the whole community proud at a national competition in Washington, DC, last weekend. Check out their letter thanking the community for its support.
5) Patch needs your help! Schools will soon let out for the summer and many kids in low-income families will be at home, so we've joined Dunedin businesses in helping Feeding America Tampa Bay stock its summer food closet supply.

- Art from the Heart Cafe, 730 Broadway, Suite 5
- Broadway Deli & Cafe, 730 Broadway, Suite 4
- Dunedin Smokehouse, 471 Main St.
