Here's a postscript to the November 27 article VFW flag retirement ceremony honors the Stars and Stripes. J.D. Fleece, president of the VFW Auxiliary, reports that there were approximately 100 people in attendance and 1,300-1,500 flags retired.
Ada’s volleyball team held our annual Dig for a Cure event earlier this month on Monday, October 6 with Pandora Gilboa. Together, both teams raised a grand total of $2,602.
This year the money was divided in half to benefit a family member or friend from both teams. Half was donated to a Pandora Gilboa varsity team member’s mom who is battling breast cancer. The other half is being donated to Not By Choice Outreach in honor of Evanne Dunlap, a graduate from Ada in 2008, who has also been battling breast cancer.
We wanted to notify the public that there will be a village-wide food and school supply drive on October 25 to benefit our very own Ada Food Pantry and Ada Exempted Village Schools. We will have teams of volunteers walking and driving around the Village collecting donations that day.
