Special Events

Senior Of the Year -- Every year we recognize a special senior age 55 or older for all their contributions to their community, friends and family. Over the past few years, nominations have continued to grow in number and have made this award a very special part of May Senior Celebration. This is your opportunity to help us recognize the contributions of a very deserving county resident. Please pick up your nomination form at either 130 Shady Lane Dr in Norwalk, or 315 E Tiffin St in Willard. Deadline for nominations is April 9th

2010 Census  -- Census questionnaires will be delivered via US mail this month. With only 10 questions and 10 minutes to complete, this is one of the shortest questionnaires in history. By law, the Census Bureau cannot share your information with anyone. Every year, the federal government allocates more than $400 billion to states and communities based in part on the information gathered  from the census data collected. This could mean more money for not only the senior center, but the schools, hospitals, emergency services and public works projects. So take 10 minutes and answer 10 questions to make a difference in our community.
