You are invited to help start the Ada Historical Society

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Saturday, October 28, 2017

All of those interested in helping to start the Ada Historical Society are invited to meet at 6:30 p.m. on Monday at the Ada Public Library.

The group has met twice before and discussed a constitution, nonprofit status, elected three out of eight of the officers, and are considering a dues structure and other organizational matters. To be determined: projects and who will head them up. Your ideas are welcome.

So far, 13 people are involved in getting the Historical Society underway. They represent a good cross section of the community: young and old, longtime residents and newcomers, men and women, etc. Your input is welcome.

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, October 23, 2017

By Monty Siekerman
Forty people and a variety of pets - dogs, a rabbit, a cat - attended a Responsible Pet Workshop on Saturday afternoon at Community Health Professionals. 

Melanie Butterfield (kneeling, right, with 14-year-old Ellie) organized the event as part of her Girl Scout gold award. There was a speaker about pet rescue and a veterinarian who talked about how to care for pets.

Melanie, a senior who is homeschooled, also obtained many donations which were handed out as door prizes to those who attended. She is a member of Alger Troop 20301. Melanie is the daughter of Randy and Angie Butterfield.
