We will be thanking sponsors and giving their commemorative photos. St Pete Pride will distribute their final financial report from St Pete Pride 2003 and will also distribute donations from the proceeds of St Pete Pride to twelve area community groups totaling over $7500.00. Co-chair Brian Longstreth stated "We're pleased of our accomplishments during St Pete Pride 2003. We have seed money to start next year, we held fun quality events which, from the feedback we've received, was what the community wanted, and we are able to give some money back."

In addition at 7:00 PM the same night, St Pete Pride requests persons interested in serving as a committee chairperson or on the Board of Directors for St Pete Pride 2004 to fill out a brief questionaire, a requirement to serve next year.

Elections for the new Board of Directors for St Pete Pride 2004 will be held on Tuesday September 30th at 6:00PM at KOP Metropolitan Community Church in the Social Hall, 3150 Fifth Avenue North, St Petersburg
