Tour of Homes in
September
League of Women Voters...
By Jan Boyer, Senior Scribe
Once again Darke County League of Women Voters (LWV) is preparing for
exciting tours of three Darke County homes on Sunday, September 24. The
homeowners in each of the three homes have used unique styles and
treatments that will provide limitless ideas and inspiration to
visitors taking the 2011 LWV Tour of Homes.
Opening their homes for this years’ Tour are Angela and Mike Ditmer,
9911 Grubs-Rex Road, Laura, Gloria and Donald Rich, 19 Parkdale Drive,
Arcanum, and Erin and Nathan Miley, 6115 Palestine-Union City Road,
Greenville.
Tickets will be available at several county businesses. The cost of
touring all three homes on the LWV 2011 Tour of Homes is $7.00 for
presale and $10 at the door on the day of the Tour.
The home tour committee is working with the homeowners, setting up
press previews of the homes, arranging traffic paths for the tours and
parking for visitors’ vehicles. Volunteers will be present in each home
to help point out the home’s unique features, direct traffic and answer
questions.
The League is excited about this year’s Tour of Homes after taking a
year off since the last Tour was shortened due to severe weather. This
is the group’s major fundraiser that allows for public information
meetings such as Candidates Nights, the early spring public meeting in
which Judge Monnin presented information about eminent domain, and the
public forum of a year ago on CO2 Sequestration.
Upcoming events planned include this year’s Candidate’s Night (October
24) and public information meetings regarding Senate Bill 5/Issue 2 and
ethics in public office.
For questions or further information, call event chairman Diane Johnson
at (937) 547-3339.
