​

Good morning, Darke County. Excellence has a new address in our region, as Garmann Miller achieves platinum status in the Client Experience Awards—a national recognition that speaks volumes about local talent. This Minster-based design firm isn't just collecting accolades; they're demonstrating how a culture of genuine client attentiveness translates into industry-leading results. Meanwhile, as Constitution Week unfolds across the county, commissioners and the Fort GreeneVille Daughters of the American Revolution have come together to commemorate the 238-year-old document that continues to shape our daily freedoms.

Looking ahead, mark your calendars for a valuable opportunity on September 22, when the Piqua YWCA hosts a free Medicare workshop covering everything from traditional coverage to prescription plans. Whether you're approaching eligibility age or helping a loved one navigate healthcare options, this session with Sarah Florimont offers expert guidance without requiring YWCA membership—just another example of community resources working to simplify life's complex transitions.
