Our presenter is Anne Thornton, President MSI Plumbing & Remodeling 

Anne knows firsthand that being knowledgeable, prepared, and proactive can make a huge difference in both the severity of a problem and the cost of repairing that problem. She is the founder and president of MSI Plumbing & Remodeling, one of New Jersey's few woman-owned plumbing and remodeling companies. 

Anne has been honored as one of New Jersey's Top 25 Leading Women Entrepreneurs; she is a SmartCEO Brava Award recipient and recently received the first-ever Catalyst Award from the Women's Business Forum of the Hunterdon County Chamber of Commerce. 

Join us for a very informative presentation about home maintenance tips and tricks every homeowner should know. Many topics will be covered including: 

■ The importance of correct washing machine hoses and ice maker hoses. 

■ How to turn water off in an emergency. 

■ Water heater maintenance. 

■ Septic maintenance. 

Anne will also cover real safety concerns in your home like dryer vent cleaning, garage doors, tripping hazards, and chimney safety. You will want to hear her tips for tools you should own, the importance of a home maintenance calendar, and all the questions and documents to ask when hiring a prospective contractor.
