The Ada Rotary Club opened its membership to women in 1990. Karen Cooper, assistant to the law dean at Ohio Northern University, became the first women member when she was inducted into the organization by Dave Retterer, club president. Cooper is not entirely new to the Rotary, for she belonged to the Rotary Ann Club when her husband, Ken, was a Rotarian in Ft. Dodge, Iowa.
Judith Greavu, associate professor emeritus in art at Ohio Northern, was recently featured in a Facebook post from Jane's Art Gallery in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. She is also featured on the Center’s website.
The gallery is an eclectic fine art exhibition space featuring art from American and European artists.
Here’s a compilation of photos and comments from Greavu from the Center’s website.

“It was pretty chilly in June,” said Scott. “but we’ve really been gaining momentum in the past few weeks.”
