Deb Curlis of Community Health Professionals, is asking Ada businesses and interested community groups for support of its monthly Bingo and free lunch program at CHP.
"For the past nine years, Richland Manor has provided a free lunch and Bingo the first Wednesday of every month for area seniors," she said. "Since Richland Manor will be moving soon to Delphos they are no longer going to provide this monthly service.
Curlis said that there are usually 40 to 60 seniors attending this event each month.
So that the program doesn’t end, Community Health Professionals will provide the lunch for 2017.

There will be a community meeting in Alger for residents to discuss how best to use a state grant of $500,000 for such things as:
• Parks and playground equipment
• Sidewalks
• Storm sewers
• Water hydrants
• Roads, curbs and gutters
• or other infrastructure projects.
The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 21, in the village hall, 207 Angle St. with Mark Doll, county regional planning director, and Whitaker Wright of Community Development Associates.
A survey was taken in Alger last fall which determined that Alger qualified for a grant up to $500,000 since most residents report low to moderate incomes.
