Welcome March!

This month the Newport St. Patrick's Day Parade, on Saturday, 3/11, heralds the unofficial start of the spring season for Newporters. That evening we'll also spring the clocks forward to daylight savings time and with the Vernal Equinox on 3/20, the days get longer and longer... yay!

All best,
