The Ada Kiwanis Club sponsored two Ada students, Shelby Hazelton and Mackenzie Wills, to the Ohio Kiwanis Key Leader program recently. The event was held at Recreations Unlimited in Ashley, Ohio.
Key Leader is a weekend experiential leadership program for today's young leaders. This life-changing event focuses on service leadership as the first, most meaningful leadership-development experience.
A Key Leader will learn the most important lesson of leadership—it comes from helping others succeed.

An estimated 300 family and friends of Zac Dysert gathered at the ONU N-Men’s Alumni Association for his “Draft Party” Saturday night, April 27.

The Ada Kiwanis Club presented its annual $500 donation to the Village of Ada for its annual tree-planting efforts at the Arbor Day celebration held on April 26 at the Ada Schools.
In presenting the check, President Myrna McCurdy said, “It has been our privilege to make this annual presentation for the past 33 years. The motto of Kiwanis International is 'Serving the Children of the World.' The membership of the Ada Kiwanis Club works to serve the children and future adults of our community.
Our annual donation of money for trees is our way of showing children how we also work to create a better, more green environment.”
The Hootenannies 4-H Club meeting was opened at the Ag Credit meeting room by our new president, Laura Spradlin. Dylan Beiler led the American Flag Pledge and Faith Holbrook led the 4-H Pledge. Secretary Miranda Holbrook had roll call and found 13 members present.
Old business: We talked about doing Star Spangled Foods as a group project. Parents, April Holbrook and Amanda Cromer will help the members with this. The group felt this will be fun to learn about the customs and traditions that influence some of our American foods, while using what we fix as our refreshments at the meetings too.
