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.
