The start of the 2009 hurricane season is June 1st.  If you haven’t purchased hurricane supplies, this is the week to do it in Virginia.  May 25-31 is tax-free week on certain items used for hurricane preparedness.  For a complete list of eligible items, go to http://www.tax.virginia.gov/Documents/2009%20Hurricane%20Preparedness%20List%20of%20Exempt%20Items.pdf

For more on how you can prepare for hurricane season, pick up our 2009 Hurricane Ready Guide at one of these locations:  Farm Fresh, Geico, R.S. Andrews, or Harrison’s Moving and Storage.  Our guides feature a hurricane tracking chart so you can plot the storms with us.

Hope you had a nice Memorial Day weekend.  Thank you to all the brave men and women who have served and who are serving our country.
