HAPPY 5-YEAR ANNIVERSARY, SANDRA! City Secretary Sandra Ham celebrates five years with the City of Nassau Bay on April 24!
NASSAU BAY GARDEN CLUB
ST. THOMAS FOOD DISTRIBUTION On Saturday, April 2, 2022, St. Thomas the Apostle Episcopal Church in Nassau Bay will welcome the Galveston Food Bank to its parking lot for the March Food Distribution. This partnership will offer their monthly fresh food distribution to neighbors in need throughout Nassau Bay, Webster, and Pasadena. This event will begin in the St. Thomas parking lot (18300 Upper Bay Rd., Nassau Bay) from 8AM-10AM for bags and boxes of fresh fruits, vegetables, and sometimes, meat and hygiene items. Distribution begins almost immediately after volunteers arrive at 7:45AM to package the items available. If you are interested in serving or leading in this effort, please email Mike Stone at rector@sttaec.org. Non-parishioners are always invited to serve with St. Thomas. We can do more together!
The Garden Club wishes to thank all the Nassau Bay residents and businesses that supported the Beautification Day activities in March. The Garden Club couldn't have done this tremendous planting without your help. During the event, the participants planted cultivars that are tolerant to this area’s varied weather patterns.
Women’s Health: A Workshop on the Importance of Self-Care
The May 10 meeting will include the installation of officers. Club meetings will be suspended for the summer months of June, July and August.
Women all know we need to take care of ourselves in order to better care for those we love, but we often get stuck and ask: ‘How do I do this?’ and ‘When do I have time?’ Join therapist and author, Dr. Mark Mayfield, as he explores the importance of self-care and its positive effects on our mind, body, and spirit. All women are welcome and this event is open to the community. Childcare is provided onsite at no cost so you can relax and focus on yourself! Learn more and register at gdlc.org/ women by April 6.
The Garden Club will have a meeting on April 12 from 9:30AM-12PM in the City Hall Council Chambers, and the subject will be beekeeping and honey. This will be a timely reminder to help our pollinators, especially as the Club is working with the zoo and Keep Nassau Bay Beautiful to install pollinator gardens along Upper Bay Road.
