Several significant items were on the recent Ada Kiwanis Club meeting agenda.

• Joe Ferguson presented a certificate of recognition from Hardin County 4-H Junior Fair Livestock Sale to the club. He noted that as part of a buyer’s group, the club supports 76 Jr. Fair projects for Ada youth.  He presented a certificate to President John Berg for the club’s participation.

• Jon Umphress was awarded a certificate of recognition for his service to the club, especially for his service as Club Secretary-Treasurer from 1999-2009.  It was noted that the club owes Jon a great debt for his superlative service.
