activities for different grade levels, as well as prizes for students
and teachers. The contest will run January 11th – February 12th, 2010.
The Northeast Environmental Team (NEET) is collecting dresses, purses
and costume jewelry through March 13, 2010. These items will be
redistributed to teenage girls who would like to attend their proms
but cannot afford the proper attire. For more details, view NEET’s
Prom Dress Flyer
or contact Janie Wood at 817-284-7811.
Watering our lawns accounts for half or more of all the
water we use at home and, according to the experts, most
lawns get twice as much water as they really need.
Remember that lawns don't need as much water during the
cooler seasons. Applying about an inch every two weeks
in the fall, and even less in the winter, should be plenty.
Use rain and freeze sensors. They will trigger
automatic sprinkler systems to shut off during downpours or
when temperatures dip near freezing and they could reduce
your outdoor water use by 5 to 10 percent. Get more
water saving tips for your lawn and home at
