Here is a picture Sage took of our beautiful Community Garden with her cell phone. The resolution isn't great, but you can get a good idea of how great it looks!

This week at DNEC

Well, faithful readers, this week at DNEC has been very interesting and educational. DNEC had two days of training last week with a gentleman from the federal government who helped us to begin to redesign all of our forms to make them more user freindly, and to try to bring us somewhere close to the 21st century! As things stand, we are basically rubbing sticks together to make fire.

DNEC took part in the 2007 Senior Expo at Dayton Arena, and displayed a lot of material, and answered a number of questions. It was a great day, and many new aquantances came from it.

We are taking part in a site review tomorrow morning with the state to ensure that we are providing the best possible services to you, our consumers.

Just as an update, the garden looks great, and the Morning Glories from last year seeded themselves and are growing everywhere. Drop by and take a peek!

Welcome to the 21st Century

Here it is, our first official blog post. This is where you can find the latest news and info on upcoming events.

Today is Planting Day at DNEC. Sage and some DNEC members and staff got together to get the Community Garden going. We dug, raked, shoveled, watered, cleared brush, planted, hauled debris, and tossed garbage. We were assisted by our garden guru Pat, and thanks to a lot of hard work on the part of a number of people and a couple of generous donations we have a lovely garden. I can see it from my office window, and I can't wait until it is bigger and brighter.

Next week, on May 15th and 16th the office will be closed for training. If you need us, we will be checking our voicemail regularly and will return urgent calls.
