Ada 4-H club, Liberty Belles and Boys, wanted to make Ada a safe community – so they did something about it.
Last summer the club held an ice cream social fundraiser. It generated $500 and the proceeds were recently donated to the Ada police department for surveillance equipment for the department’s S.A.F.E.R. program.
Project S.A.F.E.R. (Seeking Aid From Every Resident) is Ada's own community policing initiative started in January of 2002. It is a winner of the 2003 Ohio Crime Prevention's Community Policing Strategy Award, aimed at nurturing the relationship with the community.
A new group has formed in Ada - it's for anyone 50 and older. The group is called "O. W. L. S. (Older, Wiser, Living Saints)."
O.W.L.S. meets at Wesley Fellowship Hall, First United Methodist Church, Ada, for lunch and fellowship at noon every third Wednesday of each month. This month's meeting is on May 15.
"Food is provided. We will also have some sort of program each month and hopefully some fun," according to Judy Lusk.
