Tips, Tricks and Secrets to Living in
Huntsville
|
|
|
|
There are a lot of things to learn about a city in order to live there
successfully. Sometimes it takes years to find out some of the
"secrets" and tricks to living a good life. I share tips in
every issue of my free weekly
email newsletter.
If you know some good tips,
please send them to me via email. I
hope you find something useful to you here and feel more at home in Huntsville.
Tips for Week of January 27,
2005
THINGS I LEARNED THIS WEEK:
-
To
put it bluntly: "Alabama has a bunch of fat people in it!" If you
want to change that, here's your opportunity. The Biggest
Loser TV Show is looking for GROUPS who want to lose weight as a
team and YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO LEAVE THE COMFORTS OF YOUR OWN HOME OR JOB.
Application deadline is February 14th.
-
Lighthouse
Christian Ministries is in need of women's coats, canned & dry
goods or gift cards from Wal-Mart and grocery stores. If you can help, call
535-0850 or email Darlene.
-
Having
trouble bathing your dog? I just noticed that there's a dog wash at
the Dixie Car Wash on Whitesburg Drive (across from Lily Flagg
Hardware). They have a heated, enclosed area with a ramp and platform so you
can wash your dog without bending over a tub. Dog shampoo, flea treatment,
dry off clothes and dog treats available.
-
The
new Hampton Cove Wal-Mart is now open! The store front is green in
order to fit in better with the surrounding Hampton Cove community.
-
The
Huntsville International Airport
is sponsoring their Huntsville
Hot Ticket Rewards program now through July 18, 2005. Sign up to
receive weekly emails on low fares (this week: Washington DC for $108 or New
York for $159) and earn reward points for prizes when you visit the
website.
-
Kiwanis
Club of Huntsville is now selling their Pancake Day Tickets for $4
in advance, $5 at the door. The pancakes will be served at the new
Huntsville High School Cafeteria (get a tour!) on Saturday, March 5 from
6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. For tickets, call Ira Jones at 256-539-8116 or see
