President Heather Cox called the weekly meeting of the Ada Kiwanis Club to order at 12:00 noon on Tuesday May 27 at McIntosh Center, Ohio Northern University, Ada.

Jon Umphress offered the invocation.

Member birthdays of Myrna McCurdy (May 28) and Scott Allison (May 29) were noted.

The membership anniversary of Mike Hood (June 1, 198) was also noted.

It's all about supporting a good cause.

On May 23, employees of Liberty National Bank provided hot dogs, chips, cookies and water outside the Ada office. During this time, they were also accepting donations to Hardin County Relay For Life. They collected $240 in donations.

"Liberty National Bank would like to thank the community for their support in helping find a cure for cancer," said Heather Cox of the bank.
