Don't forget your garage! If your garage has a leaking roof, it can lead to significant damage, especially during rainy seasons.

As a homeowner, it's important to not only focus on the aesthetics of your house but also the overall functionality and protection it provides. One area that often gets overlooked is the garage. Many of us use the garage not only to store our vehicles but also as a multipurpose space for various activities. However, if your garage has a leaking roof, it can lead to significant damage, especially during rainy seasons.

The Dangers of Rainwater Leakage

1. Structural Damage

When rainwater seeps into your garage through a leaky roof, it can cause structural damage over time. The constant exposure to moisture weakens the foundation, walls, and flooring, leading to cracks, rot, and even mold growth. This can compromise the integrity of your garage and pose safety risks.

2. Damage to Belongings

If you use your garage to store valuable items such as tools, equipment, or sentimental belongings, a leaking roof can cause irreversible damage. Water can seep into boxes, causing them to warp, rust, or even develop mold. This not only affects the functionality of your belongings but also reduces their lifespan.

3. Health Hazards

The presence of moisture from a leaking roof creates an ideal environment for mold and mildew to thrive. Mold spores can cause respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems, especially for individuals with pre-existing conditions. It's crucial to address any leaks promptly to prevent the growth of harmful mold in your garage.

Preventive Measures

To protect your garage from rainwater damage, consider the following preventive measures:

  1. Regular Inspections: Conduct routine inspections of your garage roof to identify any signs of damage or potential leaks. Look for missing or damaged shingles, cracks, or gaps in the roofing material.

  2. Prompt Repairs: If you notice any leaks or damage, address them immediately. Hire a professional roofing company to fix the issue and ensure proper sealing to prevent future leaks.

  3. Proper Drainage: Ensure that your garage has adequate drainage systems in place. This includes properly functioning gutters and downspouts that direct water away from the garage.

  4. Waterproofing: Consider applying a waterproof sealant or coating to your garage roof to provide an extra layer of protection against rainwater.

A leaking roof in your garage can cause significant damage to the structure, your belongings, and even your health. By taking preventive measures and addressing any leaks promptly, you can protect your garage from the harmful effects of rainwater and ensure a safe and functional space. If you notice any signs of a leaking roof, don't hesitate to contact a professional roofing company to assess and repair the issue.

Booking a moving service in advance is essential. By following the guidelines mentioned in this article, you can ensure that you secure the services of a reputable moving company and have sufficient time to prepare for your move.

Are you planning a move and wondering when is the best time to book a moving service? It's a common question that many people have when preparing for a move. Let's discuss the ideal timeframe for booking a moving service to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience.

The Importance of Booking in Advance

Booking a moving service well in advance is crucial for several reasons. First and foremost, it guarantees that you will secure the services of a reputable moving company. Moving companies can get booked up quickly, especially during peak moving seasons. By booking early, you can avoid the disappointment of not finding a reliable moving service when you need it most.

Additionally, booking in advance allows you to plan your move more effectively. It gives you ample time to organize your belongings, pack them properly, and make any necessary arrangements. Moving can be a complex process, and having sufficient time to prepare will help ensure that everything goes smoothly on moving day.

How Far in Advance Should You Book?

The ideal timeframe for booking a moving service can vary depending on several factors. Here are some general guidelines to consider:

  1. Peak Season: If you are planning to move during the peak season, which is typically between May and September, it is advisable to book your moving service at least 8-12 weeks in advance. This will give you a better chance of securing your preferred moving dates and ensure that the moving company has availability.

  2. Off-Peak Season: If you are moving during the off-peak season, such as during the winter months, booking your moving service 4-8 weeks in advance should be sufficient. While there may be more availability during this time, it's still important to book early to avoid any last-minute complications.

  3. Local Moves: For local moves, where you are moving within the same city or a short distance away, booking your moving service 2-4 weeks in advance is generally recommended. Local moves tend to have more flexibility in terms of availability, but it's still wise to secure your preferred moving dates ahead of time.

  4. Special Circumstances: If you have specific requirements or unique circumstances for your move, such as moving valuable or fragile items, moving internationally, or needing additional services like packing and unpacking, it's advisable to book your moving service even further in advance. These situations may require more time for planning and coordination.

Booking a moving service well in advance is essential for a smooth and stress-free moving experience. By following the guidelines mentioned above, you can ensure that you secure the services of a reputable moving company and have sufficient time to prepare for your move. Remember, the earlier you book, the better!

If you're in the process of planning a move, don't wait until the last minute. Take the time to research and book a reliable moving service in advance. Your future self will thank you for it!

McKinney (March 5, 2024) - The Texas Giving Machines stopped in downtown McKinney in December with thousands of donors giving to charity, especially McKinney's own HUGS Cafe and The Samaritan Inn.

Eight North Texas charities benefited as the Light the World Texas Giving Machine rolled through DFW, reaching thousands of donors. The machines also stopped in Houston and San Antonio, totaling donations nearly $1M in our state.

More than $10.4 million was donated at Giving Machines during the 2023 Christmas season worldwide in 61 locations, a record number — with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints covering all the operating costs.

Total charitable donations from North Texas donors were over $630,000. The machines kicked off in DFW with Marie Osmond offering a holiday mini concert in Sundance Square to an audience of over 8,000. Next, the machines stopped in Grapevine, the Christmas Capital of Texas, and finished their tour in downtown McKinney.

Filled with cards representing essential goods and services requested by North Texas charity partners, Giving Machines allowed visitors to make a difference through the simple act of swiping their credit cards and buying something for someone in need.

“The ripple effect of this program is priceless,” Kellie Maynard, CDO of The Samaritan Inn, said. “Giving Machines have brought so much awareness to so many charities in need.”

As a result of the Texas Giving Machine in DFW donations provided:

  • 11,000 chickens
  • 1500 hot showers, lunches for homeless
  • 1500 canine care kits for those experiencing homelessness
  • 1200 new shoes for battered women and children
  • 1100 fresh produce, grocery items
  • 1000 winter coats
  • 900 infant care kits for women rescued from human trafficking
  • 600 veteran kits
  • 500 music classes for adults with disabilities

 

 

“Each number represents a person being fed, clothed, educated and trained,” Karl Cheney, program manager said. “Hundreds of thousands of children will be vaccinated and sheltered, thousands of newborn babies will receive a healthier start, and countless women and men in every corner of the world will have their dignity restored.”

 

This is the first year that the Giving Machines have come to north Texas, which is one of only 61 cities worldwide to host Light the World Giving Machines in 2023. A record 600,000 people made purchases at Giving Machines in November and December 2023 worldwide.

 

The DFW machine benefitted eight charities locally in the metroplex, including:

 

And two global charities:

 

“Overwhelmed. Speechless. Blown away by the response.” These were common responses when the North Texas charities received their 2023 donation checks.

 

Dr. Tonya Stafford, founder of charity ‘It’s Going To Be OK,’ said the Light the World Giving Machine is “truly a reminder that the good we do will outshine the evil.”

 

“I’m overwhelmed with the donation amount and thrilled and excited for this support,” Rebecca Cox, CEO of GRACE Grapevine said. “Our need has grown 40% this past year.”

 

HUGS Founder Ruth Thompson said, “This will help as we are changing lives. The need for special needs employment is so great. This is what God said to do.”

 

The first Giving Machine appeared in 2017 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Total donations since then have exceeded $32 million, with 100% used to fulfill each donor’s selection – all possible because the initiative’s sponsor, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, covers all operational costs.

The Shelton School Parents' Association (SPA) raised money at the 2024 Stampede benefit auction on March 1 at the Frontiers of Flight Museum. Attendees enjoyed the evening with "Back to the 80s" as the theme. The evening included a cocktail reception, seated dinner, live and big board auctions and musical entertainment by Emerald City.

Auction proceeds go toward improving academics, curriculum programs, arts, athletics, technology, professional development for teachers, our wellness program, security enhancements and tuition assistance. Proceeds also go to the Shelton Endowment Fund and the Shelton Scholarship Fund. Among the items available at the auction were the Ultimate Cowboys experience, including travel for two on the Cowboys team-chartered plane and two tickets to a Cowboys away game, a poker party with former Cowboys running back Emmitt Smith, four tickets to Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour in Amsterdam and more.

2024 Stampede Auction co-chairs were Jennie Jones and Carolyn Strickfaden. Gina Rangel Pena and JoAnna Sudbeck are co-presidents of the 2023-2024 Shelton Parents' Association, which sponsored the event. Shelly Lloyd is Shelton's Director of Volunteer Relations and Events. 

Executive Director Suzanne Stell thanked the parents, volunteers, sponsors and staff who helped make the Stampede a success. "We couldn't do this without everyone," she said. "Our students would not experience the growth or the success they do without the support of what you do on evenings like tonight."

Shelton board member Bill Corrigan, who is father to tenth-grade Shelton student Kiwi and former Shelton student MaeMae, asked the crowd to give a standing donation for the Shelton staff. "This is one of the top schools in the country for children with learning differences," he said. "We love you guys and thank you for all that you do for our school."

Thanks to everyone for creating a successful event and for contributing funds that support Shelton!

In a spirit of unity and cultural celebration, the Asian Culture And Education Society USA in Dallas, Texas recently marked the observance of both Black History Month and Lunar Chinese New Year with a series of heartwarming initiatives and festive events. The society's endeavors aimed not only to honor the diverse cultural heritage of its members but also to spread joy and inclusivity within the community.

As part of their celebrations, the Asian Culture And Education Society USA extended a hand of kindness to the special education children at a local elementary school. Members of the society prepared and distributed red envelopes filled with a delightful assortment of treats including pizzas, toys, goodies, and snacks, along with candies symbolizing the joy and prosperity associated with the Lunar Chinese New Year. This gesture of goodwill brought smiles to the faces of the children and demonstrated the society's commitment to fostering inclusivity and compassion.

The festivities culminated in an annual celebration party hosted by the Asian Culture And Education Society USA. The event served as a vibrant showcase of Asian culture and traditions, featuring a variety of performances and activities for the community to enjoy. Attendees were treated to mesmerizing displays of traditional music, dance, and theatrical performances, which highlighted the richness and diversity of Asian heritage. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, camaraderie, and a shared appreciation for cultural diversity.

Apart from the annual celebration party, the ACAESUSA's Youth Council  special performances for the wider community, actively participating in the events by volunteering and showcasing their talents. These performances were a means to bridge cultural gaps and foster cross-cultural understanding. Through music, dance, and various artistic expressions, the society endeavored to involve and enlighten the community about the beauty and significance of Asian culture.

During these events, we're deeply grateful for the help from Ni Hao, UCA, Gendap, Dallas City Library, the Dallas Police Department, Cesar Chavez Learning Center and TC-2 Mr.Gipson's class. We're truly fortunate to have their support.

Several awards were presented during the event, including the Inspirational ACAESUSA Mentor Award to Gendap President Mrs. Beverly Hill, and Mr. Jay Ho.

The Asian Culture And Education Society USA's celebration of Blank History Month and Lunar Chinese New Year exemplifies the power of community and cultural exchange. Through acts of kindness, festive gatherings, and vibrant performances, the society succeeded in spreading joy, fostering inclusivity, and celebrating the rich tapestry of Asian heritage.
