Ada's latest news

The COSI at Northern marque offers two thoughts this month to passers-by. The first reads: "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that." The second message reads: "Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." Both quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The Board and I thank those who came to our meeting and spoke on this subject. While I, too, have many questions (and few answers yet), I wanted to at least let you know the timeline we hope to follow in getting our plan to you.
