The dates and times are Monday, June 1th and 15th at 4:00 p.m., Thursday, June 4th and 18that 7:00 p.m., Monday, June 8th at 7:00 p.m. and Thursday, June 11th at 4:00 p.m.  Space in each presentation is limited, so register at 563-382-3649. 

NEIBH is also offering to give its presentation to groups which would like to hear more about the program.
