Representatives from NeedNexus took part in a meeting Thursday morning at the Griswald Center for Seniors in Worthington.

The meeting was designed to launch the city’s new S.A.L.T. program, which is designed to have the community work with local police and fire agencies to help promote health and safety for its senior citizens.

“We were able to explain how we could be a helpful service to the community and relayed our mission to keep work within the Worthington area,” Business Development Manager Julie Fuller said. “The seniors asked lots of questions about our screening process for our vendors. We assured our audience that we speak with each vendor directly through our screening process to identify their credentials.”

After the meeting, the seniors left with bags provided by NeedNexus and a goal to find Needs.

It’s not easy to clean your room, let alone an apartment.

In this ad, a child was promised a trip to Chuck E Cheese’s if they cleaned their room, but life isn’t always that easy.

Man! It’s hot outside.

Wednesday’s Columbus Dispatch featured an article saying today’s heat index is expected to reach 107 degrees.

It’s hard to make headway on home projects when it’s really warm.

I’m not a big fan of moving.

Last Friday’s series finale of NBC’s “Friday Night Lights” ended up with Coach Eric Taylor and his wife, Tami , moving to Philadelphia for her new job as Dean of Admissions at Braemore University.

Although I thought it was commendable that Taylor left his job to follow his wife, moving can be expensive.

Which moving company do you hire? Are there last-second cleaning or repair items that need done before moving day?

If you find yourself in the Taylor family’s shoes, try http://www.NeedNexus.com

You can post a Need for free and we’ll find service providers to bid on your project.

It’s up to you to pick your favorite bid.
