NASSAU BAY GARDEN CLUB
The Nassau Bay Garden Club had a wonderful meeting in February, and would like to thank City Manager Jason Reynolds, City Secretary Sandra Ham, and Courtyard Marriott Director of Sales and Marketing Donia Blossom for their collaboration in making it possible for the Club to meet at the Marriott. The Club's March and April meetings will also be at the Marriott. The next meeting will be on Tuesday, March 9th from 9:30am to 12:00pm, and will feature a program by Julie Brown, Director of the Galveston Island Nature Tourism Council. Ms. Brown will discuss educational and recreational activities and the value of natural habitats. Please remember to wear your mask! Social distancing will be in effect. March will bring out blossoms from bulbs and plants that were able to survive the February freeze. Trim your trees, bushes and roses as soon as possible. Plant veggies and herbs, using organic compost sparingly. Remember that there is a need for pollinating insects and bees to do their work, so think about them before buying pesticide and insecticide sprays that will kill them, causing citrus trees to have little or no crop of fruit.
SPRING FORWARD MARCH 14TH The Nassau Bay Fire Marshal's Office and the Volunteer
Fire Department want to remind you to check and change the batteries in your smoke detector and carbon monoxide alarms when you reset your clocks one hour forward on March 14th. It is recommended to replace the batteries at least twice a year, so doing this at the start and end of Daylight Savings Time is a good homeowner habit! This is a quick and inexpensive thing you can do to keep your family safe. Do you have questions about smoke detectors or carbon monoxide alarms? Contact Nassau Bay Fire Marshal Tony Russo by email at tony.russo@nassaubay.com.
