Ada Junior Civic League representatives presented checks totaling $2,400 to five community organizations this summer:
• Ada Public Library
• Ada Fire Department,
• Restore,
• Ada RR Park Garden, and
• Crossroads Crisis Center.
The League had very successful fund raising last club year. Fundraisers included pecan sales, hog raffle, Harvest and Herb Fest 50-50 raffle and a white elephant sale.
