Both Icons have experience intermittent server problems beginning on the morning of Tuesday, November 18, due to a widespread outage impacting many online services.

Thank you for your patience.

The November 19 membership meeting for the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce will be devoted to decorating the Depot at Ada's Depot Park. At 8:30 a.m., participants will help the Village of Ada prepare for the holiday season by setting up Christmas lights.

Director Lindsay Hollar explains, "This is a quick and easy way to give back to our community while spending time with fellow members and spreading some festive cheer. We hope to see you there — many hands make light (and merry!) work!"

During my time as chaplain at Mennonite Memorial Home for 24 years, I met a number of residents who were veterans, mostly from World War II. I don't remember all their names, but I remember their stories. 

Happy Monday, Ada! Here are AdaIcon.com's top stories from the week that was, November 10-16. For a chronological look at all Icon content, visit AdaIcon.com/archive
