Some people are scared to give blood, but you should know that donating is a simple, relatively painless process.
Spring has finally sprung, and with it comes a wonderful local festival!
This year, the Huntsville Botanical Garden will continue a local rite of spring and community favorite: the Spring Festival of Flowers.
The Festival of Flowers offers visitors the chance to, literally, stop and smell the roses. The garden will feature thousands of bulbs, colorful spring annuals, wildflowers, dogwoods, azaleas, and container plantings for visitors to admire.
In addition to touring the garden, you can stop by the Spring Plant Sale. The largest in the state, the sale offers an enormous selection of plants, including the following:
At Martinson & Beason, P.C., we believe it is important to give back to the community that has supported us for over 75 years, as a firm and as individuals. The March of Dimes: March for Babies event is one of a variety of local causes, both in a professional and personal capacity, that our firm is involved in, but is certainly one nearest and dearest to my heart.
Last year, my wife Shannon and I started a team to help support the March of Dimes. The mission of this organization is to promote healthy pregnancies, improve prenatal care, and prevent health issues threatening babies. The organization carries out this mission by providing local programs and funding life-saving research.
As many of our friends and community members know, Martinson & Beason attorney Morris Lilienthal and his wife Shannon lost their son, Will, when he was three days old in June 2009.
Since then, Morris and Shannon have been avid supporters of March of Dimes. This organization works to help mothers deliver healthy babies and also supports research into preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.
