Dear friends,

A friendly reminder to turn your clocks forward this evening (or tomorrow morning) for Daylight Savings Time. It’s also an excellent opportunity to change the batteries in your smoke alarms.

Did you know that New Zealander George Vernon Hudson proposed the modern idea of daylight saving in 1895? Germany and Austria-Hungary organized the first implementation, starting on April 30, 1916. Many countries have used DST at various times since then, particularly since the energy crisis of the 1970’s.

Spring is around the corner!!!
