Several Ohio Northern University alumni and retired faculty are featured in an upcoming exhibit at the Grace Albrecht gallery of the Sauder Visual Arts Center at Bluffton University. Pictured here on the right is ONU Professor Emerita Judith Greavu, one of the artists and gallery organizers.
Ken Collins took these photos at Lake Nieheiser (Fraternity Circle) on campus. About the first photo, he writes, "Keeping the geese in a row. All followed the leader into the lake, out again, then back in again. Fun to watch."
The second two photos remind one of the lazy, hazy days of summer. Peaceful scene of lily pads and a dragonfly. Ken says, "They remind me of a watercolor painting."
The Ada Public Library Summer Reading Programs is only as successful as the efforts of all involved; we recognize and appreciate the Ada Schools and Chanda Smith, School Librarian in their willingness to let us come in and talk about Summer Reading with the kids, and the office staff and teachers for sending our materials home. We are truly grateful for the dedication of the individuals and families who signed-up for and participated in Summer Reading, their commitment to reading and infectious excitement for the programs AND the prizes. And I personally appreciate and recognize all the efforts of the library VOLUNTEENS and staff, Darlene, Debbi, Karen, Karin, Preema, and Rhett.
The annual membership drive for the Ada Music Boosters is in progress. A flyer was mailed to Ada households in June. The Boosters encourage you to return it with a contribution towards this year’s fund-raising drive.
With the help of the Ada community, the Music Boosters are able to enhance music education and the performance-based programming for the Ada Schools.
The Music Boosters purchase choir robes, band uniforms, instruments, Varsity Singer costumes, props and music which support Ada’s state and regional award-winning winter guard, marching band and show choir.
