A fundraising project, organized by Stacy Manns, was held Saturday at Community Health Professionals with a portion of the profit going to Polar Paws, an organization at ONU that helps train service dogs.
Stacy sells LuLaRoe clothing for adults and children.
She and several other consultants were on hand to sell their LuLaRoe wares and support Polar Paws.
There are nine service dogs on campus this semester. Polar Paws sold 2017 calendars that featured all the local pups-in-training, as well as bandanas for dogs.

With his wife and children looking on, Ada’s newest police officer, John Iten, was honored at the regular Ada village council meeting for saving the life of an Ada woman last month.
Police Chief Mike Harnishfeger presented Officer Iten with a red-and-white-ribboned medal in a crushed velvet blue box.
“I don’t feel like I deserve this, I did my job,” said Iten. “It was a team effort. It was the dispatchers, it was EMS, it wasn’t just me. I'm very honored.”

Sheriff Keith Everhart hands out candy to Chuck and Jessica Kaman's sons, Colton and Kylar, in Alger on Thursday.
Some years, Halloween in various communities occurs on different days, but this year all area towns decided Halloween would be on the same day, so the sheriff's office was busy all over the county.
Sheriff Everhart had eight deputies plus Volunteers in Public Service handing out candy in every community that evening.
The Alger Community Center opened its doors for Halloween.
