Living in Bluffton

MEDIA RELEASE__Area teachers: the Bluffton Senior Citizens Center would like to assist you by putting together packets for your opening days of school.

You would need to bring all papers already copied/printed, the order that you want them in (an example), and how you would like them put together (gallon zip bags, stapled, etc.).

Drop off items a week before they are needed and our volunteers will put everything together for you to pick up for your students.

Call the Bluffton Senior Citizens Center at 419-358-8971 and ask for Sherry or Tanya for more details. 

Progressive Sweeping is scheduled to perform annual street sweeping in the Village of Bluffton on Tuesday, July 15.

This should be a 1–2-day project beginning around 5:30 a.m. on Main St. in the business district.

Please avoid on-street parking on Tuesday and Wednesday from 5:30 a.m.-4 p.m. This will allow for a more complete cleaning as well as faster completion of the project.
