Soup's Up - With cold winds blowing, Ada Presbyterians chose a perfect night for a soup and salad supper.
Tuesday evening the church members and those in the community raised money for missions. The raffle of a quilt and an auction of many items added to the mission total.

"Reindeer! On your marks, get set, gallop!" This year's third annual Reindeer 5k and Kid Fun Run hoped to raise enough money to give 100 stuffed polar bears to children at local hospitals. The run, sponsored by Mortar Board honorary and Kappa Alpha Theta sorority, began inside the Sports Center, but traveled out of the building and throughout campus on Sunday due to sunny weather topping out in the mid 50s. Real reindeer wouldn't mind the cold, but these "hybrids" usually do the run inside since the first week of December is usually downright cold in Ada. (Monty Siekerman photo)
