Community Cultivators at Grassroots Kava House St. Pete

Timely with Helene and Milton’s aftermath, we are called to discover new mindsets and habits that bolster hospitality humans in this ever-growing city. Grassroots Kava House (GR) is excited to host “Community Cultivators: A Panel Discussion with St. Pete’s Community Catalysts,” an event aimed at building connections and raising awareness of the vital role the hospitality industry plays in our community. The panel will focus how the community can support this industry while spotlighting Free Leadership’s efforts to promote civic engagement and social development. The event, benefiting the non-profit Free Leadership, will take place on November 18th from 6:30-9pm at GR’s upstairs location in St. Pete. Attendees will have the chance to engage with local industry leaders, ask questions, and learn how to support causes that directly benefit the hospitality sector. We will be raffling donated gift baskets sourced from local partners, offering free henna tattoos and light appetizers from Twisted Indian.
