PENINSULA WILDLIFE RESERVE
Just a friendly reminder, NO PETS are allowed on the Nassau Bay peninsula, as the peninsula is a designated wildlife reserve consisting of 76.5 acres of wetlands. The Nassau Bay peninsula is also a sanctuary for native plants and wildlife. The peninsula also serves as public access to enjoy wildscapes, opportunities for wildlife watching, and quiet escapes for urban residents to learn about life and nature. The peninsula is managed for conservation and to provide special opportunities for study or research. To ensure the protection of the wildlife in the peninsula, signs have been posted to notify the public that citations will be issued. Animal Control Officers will be working with the Police Department to identify violators and will issue citations. Additionally, a camera has been installed at the entrance gate to assist in identifying violators.

ST. THOMAS DELIVERS FOOD FOR JUNE
June 5th will be the next food distribution date for St. Thomas the Apostle Episcopal Church and the Galveston Food Bank, rain or shine. May's food distribution was held during a thunderstorm, but it did not discourage volunteers from helping others. On June 5th, St. Thomas will offer their monthly fresh food distribution to neighbors in need throughout Nassau Bay, Webster, and Pasadena. This event will begin in the St. Thomas parking lot (18300 Upper Bay Rd., Nassau Bay) at 7:45am for volunteers to help package boxes and bags of food into serviceable quantities of fresh fruits, vegetables, and sometimes meat and hygiene items. Distribution begins almost immediately. In May, St. Thomas served 75 cars with food for 350 people. If you are interested in serving or leading in this effort, please email Mike Stone at rector@sttaec.org. Nonparishioners are always invited to serve with St. Thomas. The next food distribution will be on Saturday, July 3rd. We can do more together!
