The Staff and Volunteers of The ReStore Community Center would like to invite you to a special Crock Pot Tuesday (Dec. 12) to honor the beloved Director of The ReStore Center, Pat Searfoss.
ReStore Staff and Volunteers will be hosting the meal that night with ham, au gratin potatoes, green beans and cookies (and a cake).
Pat is retiring at the end of December ending six years in leading and overseeing this new faith-based non-profit organization.
Come wish her well and share in the memories and fun.
Festivities will take place at the ReStore Community Center, 210 N Main Street, Ada, Ohio.
Crock Pot Tuesday hours are from 4-6 PM.
