For entertainment, My Place features karaoke every Tuesday and Sunday, and occasional live music nights. They have a pool table, outdoor dining, and offer carry-out food as well. My Place has done fundraising for charitable events, hosted parties, and donated to many different Quad City organizations, including Arconic, United Steelworkers Union, the VFW, and American Legion, just to name a few. Jamie, herself, lives in Bettendorf. She is a single mother to 3 children and has 4 grandchildren. Fun fact: Jamie’s children, grandchildren, family, and friends (and even customers) have rallied behind her by working, repairing, and bartending at My Place!

Is there a correct way to drain pools and spas, you ask!? Great question, the answer is yes! Please follow these tips to protect the quality of water entering our nearby ponds, rivers, and streams.  Before draining your pool or spa, let the water sit at least 7 days without adding salt, chlorine, or other chemicals.  If water is drained on the ground, chlorine levels needs to be below 0.1mg/L. The PH should be between 6.5 and 8.5. Both of these must be true before draining.  If water is drained on the ground, drain across at least 15 feet of grass to allow any remaining chemicals to dissipate before reaching the storm drain.  Keep the flow low at 12 gallons per minute to prevent erosion of soil and landscaping.  Do not drain directly onto concrete. Never discharge into the street, gutter, intakes, storms drains, or water ways. The biggest takeaway from this list: NEVER discharge pool or spa water directly into our storm sewer system. Chlorinated water and saltwater is hazardous to humans and deadly for freshwater aquatic life. Together, we can all make a difference. This year, we are excited to announce that BASH 2023 will be held in November! BASH 2023 is going to be a little bit different than previous years.
