Second year for graduating senior banner project downtown

Like last year, Ada High School graduating seniors will perch themselves along Main Street later this spring.

For the second year, graduating senior banners for Ada High School and Ada Apollo graduates will fly high as Ada council recently approved the project.

This year there are 56 graduates who will have their senior banner displayed.

“We are hoping to have them completed once again with the help of Linda Crawford of The Way I See It Photography by the first weekend of May,” Jennifer Wince told the Icon.

“All banners have been donated by the Ada community similar to last year,” she said, adding a special thank you to donors.

CHP Home Care & Hospice is hosting an online auction, April 16-30, featuring designer handbags, a Myrtle Beach trip and other items to support its hospice patient care fund.

As a nonprofit, CHP Home Care & Hospice works with patients and families regardless of their financial situation. The CHP patient care fund pays for hundreds of thousands of dollars in uncovered patient care expenses throughout its 15-county service area.

Due to the covid-19 pandemic, CHP had to forgo most of its fundraising events in 2020.
