NASSAU BAY HOMES ASSOCIATION
Public Notice: As required by the By-Laws of the Nassau Bay Homes Association, Inc. (NBHA), the annual election for Trustees for it’s Board of Directors will be held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, at the NBHA Office located at 1322 Space Park Drive, Suite C119, from 7:00 am-7:00 pm. Early voting will be held at the NBHA office the week prior to the election date on Saturday, October 24th and Monday, October 26th through Thursday, October 29th, from 9:00am to 2:00pm. Two seats are open this year, with each seat a term of two years. Any resident property owner who pays into the Nassau Bay Owners Association Inc. Lot Assessment Fund, and is current on their payments, is eligible to vote. Architectural Review Application (ARA): The Nassau Bay Homes Association would like to thank its neighbors who continue working hard on their homes to keep the community looking beautiful. A friendly reminder for each NBHOA Resident: An Architectural Review Application (ARA) needs to be submitted for any change to the exterior of the property. Examples of changes include, but are not limited, to new windows, added/ replacing driveways and fences, exterior painting, new roofs, and home raising projects. While the NBHA tries to respond to every ARA as quickly as possible, some ARAs are more complicated than others. The committee has many to review, and the process takes time. Please read the ARA application closely, provide all required documents to expedite your review, as well as good contact information as there is often follow up communication required for quick processing. NBHA looks forward to being of assistance. An ARA can be acquired on the HOA website at www.nbhaweb. com. For additional info, please contact NBHA at 281-333-2570.
NASSAU BAY GARDEN CLUB Memorial Granite Benches:
Have you ever seen this wood and granite bench at Howard Ward Park in Tranquility Arbor? Have you ever seen the teak bench in the 2nd floor Council Chambers at City Hall? Both of these were purchased by the Nassau Bay Garden Club in honor of deceased members. The memorial granite bench in Tranquility Arbor (at Upper Bay Road and Martinique Drive) replaced the teak bench when it was moved to City Hall in 2012. The bench was moved to preserve its beauty and make it available for all to see. Please look sometime at all the plaques on the bench and remember those deceased who have done so much to beautify our City. Plan for Fall: Now that the weather will be a little cooler and the ground will be a little more workable, it's time to plan for fall with soil, compost, mulch and flowers. Hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies will soon come by heading south. Good plants for fall color and all of these critters are Asters, Chrysanthemums, Bee Balm, Salvia, Russian Sage, Lantana, Marigolds, Honeysuckle, Verbena, and on and on! Don't forget to put your hummingbird feeders out – 1 part sugar to 4 parts water and remember to change the water every three days. Upcoming Garden Club Meetings: The Garden Club is not sure of the fall schedule yet, so please keep checking their website at www. nassaubaygc.org, Facebook, or Instagram for updates and information about meetings and happenings. Everyone is welcome! Garden Club Scholarship: The Club is still taking applications for the Garden Club Scholarship – information is available on the website.
PROTECTING OUR WILDLIFE Many people enjoy feeding
wildlife because it allows them to have closer contact with the animals. Often they think they are helping the animals to survive by providing food, but the effects of this seemingly generous act can be very harmful. If you care about the animals, please stop feeding them. Wild animals, such as the ducks at Lake Nassau Park could live a much healthier life if they were not given bread and could feed on their natural diet found in their habitat. Food fed to animals by humans is often nutritionally inadequate and can cause health problems for the animals, especially when they are young and still developing. The animals also can begin to depend on humans for food and lose their fear of people and/or vehicles – as you may have noticed at the park when the ducks waddle towards vehicles instead of away. Please help take care of our ducks and other wildlife in Nassau Bay by refraining from feeding them. Please inform and encourage others to stop feeding them so we can enjoy seeing them for years to come.
