Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, to enforce Abraham Lincoln’s order to end slavery in the rebelling state farthest west

It’s been observed as a day to honor this history and celebrate Black culture and resilience, and it officially became a federal holiday in 2021.

In observance of the holiday, our office will be closed on June 19th. We’ll be back on Monday, June 22nd. We hope you have a meaningful and joyful Juneteenth!

Happy Earth Day! In celebration, we invite you to join us in making one simple eco-friendly choice — whether it is using a reusable water bottle, choosing to walk or carpool instead of driving alone, or saying no to single-use plastics.

Small actions can add up to a big impact. Let's make a difference together!

As holiday celebrations begin, here’s your friendly reminder to celebrate responsibly. Whether you're toasting at a party or hosting at home, a few mindful choices can help keep everyone safe:

🔵Plan a safe ride if you’re drinking
🔵Look out for friends and loved ones
🔵Pace yourself and know your limits
🔵Offer nonalcoholic drinks if you're hosting

Let’s keep the season safe for everyone on the road. Cheers to a happy and responsible holiday!
