The annual membership drive for the Ada Music Boosters is continuing throughout the fall.
A flyer was mailed to all Ada households in July and the boosters encourage Icon viewers 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 Exempted Village Schools.
Here's an update on booster project from David Smittle, Music Booster treasurer:
Deb Curlis doesn’t hesitate when someone asks her where to shop. “Buy local,” Curlis responds. “You can find just about anything you need or want right here in Ada.”
Curlis is president of the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce and the “Buy Local” Committee.
