Improving Quality of Life in 2012
Our main focus in 2012 is customer service, so this year we want to hear from you. Tell us what you think about our services, what services you would like to see added, and how we can help you improve your quality of life. We hope you will plan to join us in this endeavor as we strive to serve each community in Hardin County. We are looking for speaking opportunities in churches, clubs, council meetings, and other types of meetings where we will be able to discuss with the people of each community what their needs are and how we can help in those areas. We also want to let the communities know where your tax dollars are being spent and how each supportive service we provide is funded. Since the levy funds only cover a portion of the cost we must obtain grants, transportation contracts, and donations to supplement the cost of running the center and providing the seven main services listed to the left of this website. Your input helps us improve on the services and deliver them in a more efficient and effective manner. We hope you will join us in this this effort to improve the quality of life for the people of Hardin County.
