They say that it takes a village...and it does. Without the generous support of so many Ada businesses, and so many families willing to participate in Summer Reading 2013, we wouldn’t have had the successful year that we did.

Thank you to all of the businesses and individuals who made donations to be used toward our program, and for those individuals who were always willing to stop and offer assistance; because of the support of the community we were able to offer over 50 free programs in the six weeks of Summer Reading and had 1,277 people show up for our programs!

Many thanks to:

Earlier this summer Dr. Jimmy Wilson, professor of geography, updated the Ada Kiwanis Club on the Ohio Northern University Google Earth project. The following story was posted on the ONU website in October 2012. It provides the information about the project, so that Icon viewers may understand how it was put into place.
