Spring is just around the corner, and March 12th is the day to participate in National Plant a Flower Day. Each year this day is dedicated to the planting of flowers and looking forward to the spring season.
If you are still experiencing the 'white stuff', seeds can be started inside and set in a sunny window. When the weather is nicer, move those plants outside.

National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day on March 11th reminds us to thank the professionals who consider every need during the most difficult time in our lives.

Funeral directors and morticians dedicate their lives to helping us celebrate our loved ones, by bringing together the memories and their achievements. With professional guidance and compassion, funeral directors help with every step of planning a funeral. These experts understand how emotional and stressful the process is. Without their efforts, our loved ones wouldn’t get the sendoff they deserve and their passing would be an even more distressing experience.

Thank you to our Gramer Funeral Directors, for your support to our community and the families we serve.

March, National Nutrition Month focuses on the significance of physical fitness as well as eating nourishing meals. Taking charge of your health contributes to overall well-being.
Our overall health is a balance of diet, exercise, rest, and hereditary traits. While we do not have control over heredity, we do control the other three. Nutrition is one of the biggest factors in our health.
The 2026 theme, "Discover the Power of Nutrition," highlights how food affects health, energy, and overall well-being.
