Yesterday, I stopped home for lunch and our lawn service provider, Scotts Lawn Service, was there for our first treatment of the season. We've used them for about 2 years and are extremely pleased.  I just didn't realize how customer service oriented they were until yesterday when I saw them in action on trash day. 

After finishing my home, he drove two doors down to his next top and the first thing he did wasn't apply the treatment but to take the empty trash barrels back to the garage.  It was only then that I realized that my husband really hadn't forgotten to put the trash out.

It's the little things in life that have the biggest impact.  If you are looking for a good lawn service company, you won't get any better than Scotts Lawn Service.

You're ready to sell your home.  Now what?  It used to be a seller's market here in Omaha, where a sign and an MLS listing with a Realtor® was about all it took to sell homes.  In today's information age, now what is needed is a STRONG marketing plan and online exposure.

The Wellness Council for the Midlands held the "Trek Up The Tower".  The fundraiser is a run up the First National Bank of Omaha's downtown tower.  Just to give you some back ground, the First National Tower is the tallest building between Chicago and Denver.  And can you believe 927 people ran the 40 floors which is the equivalent of 633 feet in the air?  I don't know about you but I'm tired just writing about this! 

Congratulations go to the First Place Winner, Ian Marsh of Ashland, Nebraska who ran it in 4:24 minutes.  We would also like to congratulation the top twelve winners below:

In the month of February, Omaha firefighters installed 225 free fire alarms in North East Omaha.  One hundred and thirty five of these were installed in one day, setting a new daily record. 

Due to a large number of calls received, fire fighters are targeting East of 72nd St and North of Dodge St.  If you do not have a fire alarm or would like to have yours checked, contact the fire department at 444-3560.  If you are a renter and need assistance, you should contact your landlord or additional assistance can be requested by calling 444-5711. 

Per the National Fire Protection Association, 890 lives could be saved each year if everyone had working fire alarms.  Call today!
