Monday Gazette: October 14, 2024
Hello Riverside, and Happy Monday!
We're only three weeks away from the election. I'll be honest and share that I've failed to serve you with a quality election guide like the one we produced for the March election. Please forgive me.
Putting together an election guide is a massive amount of work, and I've spent most of the last two months strengthening The Gazette's operational side. I still want to serve you well with the time left, so please hit reply and let me know what information would be most helpful to you in feeling confident about your vote on Riverside matters on November 5. While I don't reply to every email, I do read every one, and your input will be helpful.
PS. Yesterday's newsletter incorrectly stated The Gazette has 6,5000 subscribers because Amy López, our Content Manager, was off last week celebrating her 25th anniversary so no one was fact-checking or copyediting my work. The correct number is 6,515. And Amy returns on Wednesday :)
The Foundation is optimistic that the storefront is the beginning of a new era with great things to come.
The Mission Inn Foundation is making a comeback with a new storefront at 3750 Market Street in Riverside, California. The organization is set to open its doors on October 14, offering a retail store, museum collections, and a base for downtown tours.
Driving the news: After nearly six months without a home, the Foundation is embracing the opportunity to broaden its focus beyond the Mission Inn to include more of Riverside's rich history.
Why it matters: This move allows the Foundation to expand its role in preserving and sharing Riverside's heritage.
What's next: The storefront opens on October 14 at 9 a.m., initially featuring a retail collection of Riverside and Mission Inn souvenirs.
The big picture: While the Foundation settles into its new home, the Mission Inn has secured alternate docent services for tours inside the building.
