Summer is here and so is the time for Red Cross Swimming Lessons!  As in past years the Ada Learn To Swim Program is in need of aides to assist with the lessons.

Ages 12 and up, including adults are encouraged to sign up to help others learn swimming skills.  As little as an hour each day of lessons is helpful. Lessons begin the week of July 11 for 2 weeks Monday through Friday each week.

Help is needed on deck for paperwork as well as in the water.  You do not need to be a good swimmer to help others...we'll help you as well:)

"Many hands make great things possible."

In a joint venture, Ada Kiwanis, Hardin Pioneer Aktion Club, Simon Kenton school staff and members of Harco Industries were able to make one little girl very happy as school came to a close this year.

This is an Ohio Kiwanis First Family Project that includes Aktion Club to donate a customized bike for an child with physical limitations.

The primary goal is to promote independence by providing therapeutic tricycles. With the help of Simon Kenton School staff and members of Harco Industries, the bike was presented to Mary Kraft who was thrilled to have given the opportunity for some independence.
