Ada Academic Boosters launched its 2017-18-membership drive at the start of the school year. It seeks volunteers to assist in several activities held during the school year.
“The boosters is a volunteer organization that recognizes and encourages our children’s academic achievements in grades Kindergarten to high school seniors,” said Tracie Amburgey, booster president.
There are several volunteer opportunities during this school year. Some of these include providing snacks for academic events, volunteering at book fairs, and working concession stands at various Ada athletic events.
From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 23, the Ohio Department of Transportation District 1 and 2 will host a joint event to highlight Ohio’s Move Over law at the Interstate 75 northbound rest area, south of Findlay.
Ohio’s Move Over law, enacted in 2004, was put in place to protect law enforcement officers, emergency responders and tow truck operators along Ohio’s highways. The law requires motorists to move over one lane or slow down when passing a vehicle with rotating or flashing lights.
In 2013 the law was expanded to include highway construction, maintenance and utility workers.
The 2018 United Way of Hardin County officially announced its campaign program, at the annual kick off breakfast, Thursday in Kenton.

"This is a very important program, and we want to do what we can, to achieve success," said the DiBiasios.
