The Board of Directors of the Ashland County Council on Aging ask for your support as we place a renewal levy on the ballot.  This is a renewal levy and is therefore NOT A NEW TAX!

OUR RENEWAL LEVY IS CRITICAL IF THE COUNCIL ON AGING IS TO MAINTAIN LOCAL SENIOR SERVICES.  IF THE LEVY IS NOT RENEWED VITAL SERVICES WIL BE AT RISK.

SINCE PASSAGE OF THE LEVY IN 2007, THE COUNCIL ON AGING HAS INCREASED SERVICE IN ALL AREAS!  THE COUNCIL HAS ALSO BEEN ABLE TO BEGIN TWO NEW SERVICES - HOMEMAKING AND CHORE.  IN JUST THREE YEARS, THESE TWO NEW PROGRAMS HAVE PROVIDED OVER 5,000 HOURS OF SERVICE TO ASHLAND COUNTY SENIORS TO HELP THEM REMAIN INDEPENDENT AND HEALTHY IN THEIR OWN HOMES.

PLEASE SUPPORT THE VALUABLE SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE COUNCIL ON AGING BY VOTING YES! FOR SENIORS ON NOVEMBER 8TH.

THE BALLOT WORDING IS AS FOLLOWS:
