July 4th Celebration News
Terramar Beach friends and family celebrated the forth of July on Saturday of the holiday weekend by attending a free hot dog cook out sponsored by the Terramartian Social Club. More than 120 tube steaks were prepared for the crowd and tables teeming with side dishes and desserts were provided courtesy of the good folks in attendance. Firefighters from the Galveston fire department let the young ‘uns climb on board the truck then proceeded to lead a decorated golf cart and bicycle parade through the neighborhood. Award for best decorated golf cart went to Carolyn Givens and best bike to Kate Plagens.
Check out this album for the photos from the day. Select "Slideshow" for the best viewing.

Dick Tate wins the award for most watermelons ever brought to an event (he brings a juicy specimen to every Terramartian event) and Frank Helfrich for most pickles. A big thanks to the Plagen family for providing the water slide. We would be leaving someone out if we listed everyone who helped but everyone who attended contributed in one way or another; so a tip o’ the hat to our great neighbors and friends for another successful gathering in Terramar Beach.

Water Meter - Be Prepared
When not using your home for an extended period it is prudent to turn off the water to the home to prevent possible damage in case of a leak or burst pipe. Owners are charged for any water that runs through a water meter, even if there is a leak.
To prepare for a tropical storm or hurricane please turn your water off at the meter. In a storm situation where water is left on, the owner would be charged for the water. If there are multiple homes with leaks due to damage, there could be low or no water pressure for all homes.
Also in case of a storm please secure your garbage can and other loose object around your home.
