Once a month, supporters of the Alger Public Library come together for good food and fun while all the time raising money for the library.
Here, the group of about 20 diners have some fun answering questions after the carry-in meal on Thursday. By the way, the teens won the second quiz game, mostly because the subject was children's fiction and the books were fresh in their mind. Nevertheless, the middle-angers and senior citizens gave it a valiant try.
A fundraising project, organized by Stacy Manns, was held Saturday at Community Health Professionals with a portion of the profit going to Polar Paws, an organization at ONU that helps train service dogs.
Stacy sells LuLaRoe clothing for adults and children.
She and several other consultants were on hand to sell their LuLaRoe wares and support Polar Paws.
There are nine service dogs on campus this semester. Polar Paws sold 2017 calendars that featured all the local pups-in-training, as well as bandanas for dogs.

With his wife and children looking on, Ada’s newest police officer, John Iten, was honored at the regular Ada village council meeting for saving the life of an Ada woman last month.
Police Chief Mike Harnishfeger presented Officer Iten with a red-and-white-ribboned medal in a crushed velvet blue box.
“I don’t feel like I deserve this, I did my job,” said Iten. “It was a team effort. It was the dispatchers, it was EMS, it wasn’t just me. I'm very honored.”
