Daylight Saving Time

Note: this is an email I sent my church staff. I figured it would be helpful for those of you reading the blog.
Daylight Saving Time rules have changed. Feel free to pass this along to anyone else who may need to read it.

In August of 2005 the United States Congress passed the Energy Policy Act, which changes the dates of both the start and end of Daylight Saving Time (DST). This law goes into effect in 2007. Starting this year DST will begin three weeks earlier (2:00 A.M. on the second Sunday in March) and will end one week later.

As a result of this change, Daylight Saving Time will begin on March 11, 2007, so please review your appointments so you can prepare for this change before that time. Pay special attention to:
  1. appointments between the Second Sunday of March and the First Sunday of April
  2. appointments between the Last Sunday of October and the First Sunday of November
  3. appointments with recurring schedules
If anyone has a large amount of appointments which require modification, use this link (http://www.microsoft.com/DST2007) to get the patch for your computer.
