NASSAU BAY GARDEN CLUB
Becky Kadel, President of the Nassau Bay Garden Club With fall upon us, most City yards need some weeding and refreshing. Residents can add fall color to yards with mums, cyclamen and snap dragons. Some vegetables can be planted for harvest in the late fall, like cilantro, decorative kale and late tomatoes. Club meetings have returned to the Council Chambers in City Hall. Meetings are held the second Tuesday of the month. A social time begins at 9:30 followed by a meeting at 10:00. The October meeting will be about edible gardening, presented by the Club's own member, P. J. Campagna. She is a fount of knowledge on everything that can be grown and harvested from a gardener's yard. Come listen to her interesting talk on October 12. The Club is also participating in the citywide fall clean-up on Saturday, November 6. Come and join your neighbors for all of the Club’s activities.
NASSAU BAY HOMES ASSOCIATION Please be aware: The Nassau Bay Homes Association (NBHA) utilizes an Architectural Review Application (ARA) process to ensure “changes” made to homes are in compliance with the deed restrictions. All exterior changes including, but not limited to, new roof, exterior painting, replacement windows, siding/trim and yard lights are subject to the process. Also, additions of any and all structural changes and additions of garages, sheds, driveways, and pools must be in compliance. Projects begun without an approved ARA on file will be required to stop work until the review process is complete, and fees may apply. The NBHA appreciates the homeowners’ support in maintaining the harmony of the neighborhood by utilizing the ARA process, as determined by the Deed Restrictions set forth by the developer. The ARA is required in addition to the City’s permitting process. The request form can be obtained at the NBHA office, or from the website, www.nassaubayhomes.org. For more information, call the office at 281-333-2570.

Please note: Depending on the task chosen, participants may be required to bring additional tools from home. These items will be listed on the website, as well.
“We will have an online sign-up on the website to minimize crowding at the check-in desk,” Lee said. “When you sign in, it would be helpful if you select a task that you want to work. We want to distribute volunteers among the work areas. Masks are optional, but we request that you work in small groups.” For more information, please visit the City’s website and search Fall Sweep.
