There's a new sign just outside the Ada village limits. It promotes the service clubs of the community: Lions, Rotary and Kiwanis. In addition, it posts the Liberty Township Fire Department insignia. The sign project has been underway for some time. The website is not yet completed.

Earlier this summer Dr. Jimmy Wilson, professor of geography, updated the Ada Kiwanis Club on the Ohio Northern University Google Earth project. The following story was posted on the ONU website in October 2012. It provides the information about the project, so that Icon viewers may understand how it was put into place.
