Godwin Plumbing is launching a new coupon program designed to benefit non-profit organizations while giving homeowners a break on their plumbing, heating, cooling and water treatment service call costs.

The program involves a service coupon that non-profit organizations can distribute. When recipients redeem the coupon, they get $10 off - and Godwin gives the non-profit $10. Godwin will print the coupons for the organization, with the organization's name and/or logo on them. Distribution of the coupon is not an endorsement of Godwin, its products or its services. Coupons have no expiration date.

Organizations can choose to add the coupons to pledge mailings, at retail locations (such as Goodwill and Salvation Army), and/or distribute at fund-raising events.

Welcome Note
Welcome to a great, historic, and moving-forward business district.  DABA has been working hard for over 10 years and we have seen our work pay-off.  We have businesses like Godwin Hardware, Tommy Brann's Steakhouse & Grille, Metro Motors, and many more.  Our businesses range from big (like McDonalds) to small (like Engles Jewelers).  Big or small, we worked hard together to form the DABA and we hope more businesses will join us.

Those are some of the suggested improvements in a new transit master plan intended to guide how the bus system expands over the next 10 to 20 years.
