PREBLE COUNTY COUNCIL ON AGING

 SHAREHOLDER SATISFACTION SURVEY

The Preble County Council on Aging Board of Trustees has prepared a survey that has been mailed to all members on our mailing list. It is short and will only take a few minutes to complete. As community members, we would also like to have additional input from residents of Preble County who are age 18 and older. Surveys are available at the Preble County Senior Center at 800 East St. Clair Street, Eaton. You can also go online to complete a survey at  https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PCCOA2012Survey.  All individuals completing the survey will be entered in a drawing to win $100.

The purpose of the survey is to be sure that your tax dollars are being used to meet the greatest needs of the community. As a tax payer, you are a shareholder. Have we met or exceeded your expectations?  What might be needed in the future? What service is most important in the county? A survey is a way to voice your opinion.

The survey is very important to us as we prepare future budgets. We want to allocate dollars to most needed and wanted services and spend your tax dollars wisely.  You must have returned/completed the survey by May 31, 2012. Winner will be drawn at our Annual Meeting on June 18^th. Winner need not be present to win. Thank you for your participation.
