Editor:

I retired last year from the Preble County Council on Aging. As a staff member for many years, I saw firsthand the importance and need for the services they provide for senior citizens in Preble County.

We are very fortunate to live in Preble County where we have had this outstanding nonprofit organization for the past 43 years (1973-2016.) They now need your help. PCCOA’s tax levy is up for renewal on Nov. 8. I am asking residents of Preble County to join me in voting “yes” on Issue # 25. It will not raise your taxes.

Thank you on behalf of senior citizens in Preble County.
