Heidi Bortel from the H.I.T. Foundation will be at the Preble County Senior Center on Tuesday, June 10, 2014 at 10:00 am to speak on the SENIOR HOME REPAIR PROGRAM. The Senior Home Repair Program is designed to address a great need in Preble County. Many seniors living in their homes are not able, physically and/or financially, to make needed repairs in their living environment to keep them safe and comfortable.  All repair requests will be considered, examples include: patching a leaking roof, adding a handicapped accessible ramp or repairing a hot water heater or furnace. Bring your questions and join us for this important meeting.
