Ohio Northern University is currently registering organizations, businesses and residents for its fourth annual Ada Civic Engagement (ACE) Day to be held on Saturday, Aug. 22, from 10 a.m. to noon.
A partnership with the village of Ada, the ACE Day program provides opportunities for ONU’s first-year students to not only engage with the community but also contribute to the village’s beautification.
There will be a 5-Day Club for boys and girls 5 to 12 years old from 10 to 11 a.m., Monday, July 27, to Friday, July 31, at 924 Christopher Circle.
The clubs are a Bible-centered ministry of Child Evangelism Fellowship, which is active in 163 countries.
The clubs feature Bible lessons, songs, games, activities, memory verses, and prizes.
The local club is sponsored by the group that does the Good News Clubs at the Ada Schools. For more information, call Susan Rorabaugh at 419-544-8525. (Monty Siekerman)
