Daylight Saving Time
On Sunday, March 14th at 2:00am, Daylight Saving Time begins, so remember to move your clocks one hour ahead.  Daylight Saving Time allows us to use less energy in lighting our homes by taking advantage of the longer and later daylight hours.  Daylight Saving Time is four weeks longer since 2007 due to the passage of the Energy Policy Act in 2005 which extended Daylight Saving Time from the second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November.
