NATIONAL SMILE POWER DAY<br />
<strong>June</strong> 15 th is the day we observe National Smile Power Day. This is a day<br />
for everyone to share the power of the smile.<br />
From the good morning greeting and the first “How may I help you?”<br />
present yourself with a smile. No matter where you are employed, job<br />
seeking, retired or looking for new horizons, starting the day with a<br />
smile is certainly more empowering than a pout or grump. Starting with<br />
a smile first is easier than trying to get there later in the day.<br />
When you smile at someone, you are telling them that they are valued<br />
and worth the smile that you just gave them. Smiles are moral boosters<br />
and confidence builders.<br />
Research has proven that smiling really does increase attractiveness<br />
and likability between humans. Smiling creates a greater trust and increased<br />
interpersonal cooperation. Smiling at someone can help them<br />
to relax and relieve their stress while at the same time, it will make you<br />
feel right. Smiling (even if you do not feel like it) will lift your mood and<br />
can make you a happier person.<br />
HOW TO OBSERVE<br />
Challenge yourself to smile more often today. Use a smile to disarm<br />
a tense situation or simply smile during your daily tasks.<br />
Use #SmilePowerDay on social media.<br />

IS YOUR SPRINKLER SYSTEM RUNNING<br />
AT OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE?<br />
Consider having a licensed irrigation contractor come to your home and<br />
conduct an irrigation evaluation. <strong>The</strong> WISE Guy program, sponsored by<br />
North Fort Bend Water Authority and participating Municipal Utility Districts<br />
(MUD), allows you to have a licensed professional evaluate your irrigation<br />
system; and then provide an online report of the findings with any recommended<br />
repairs - at No Cost or Obligation to you. As a matter of fact, once<br />
the evaluation is complete, North Fort Bend Water Authority will mail you a<br />
$15 check for participating. To learn more or to sign up for a Free Sprinkler<br />
System Evaluation, visit us at: www.NFBWA.com/wiseguys. You will also<br />
find a list of MUD’s participating in the program.<br />
COMMUNITY HEROES<br />
VOLUNTEER TO BE AN EVERYDAY HERO<br />
Volunteer firefighting is one of the most rewarding experiences you’ll<br />
ever have. Community VFD offers free fire training and volunteering is a<br />
great way to make a difference personally while having a positive impact<br />
in your community. Volunteers can fight fires, drive apparatuses, extract<br />
patients from vehicles at accident scenes, etc.<br />
Community VFD also provides emergency medical services (EMS) and<br />
provides opportunities for individuals with a Texas EMS certification<br />
to serve their community.<br />
