Village Voice: Early bird pricing for 2016 pool passes ends on Monday

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, June 7, 2016

The Ada Municipal Pool is now open for the season.

The early bird pricing for pool passes ends Monday, June 13. Through the end of the day on Monday, passes are $45 per person. If you are an Ada resident or taxpayer, you may be eligible for a $10 discount, subject to verification. That makes your pool pass only $35.

After Monday, passes are $55 per person. The $10 discount for Ada residents and/or taxpayers still applies, so passes for those individuals will be $45 per person.

Passes are only being sold at the village office this season, and hours are 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Guests to the pool will need to pay daily admission rates until a pass has been issued.

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, June 7, 2016

Icon viewers:

Summer is here and so is the time for Red Cross Swimming Lessons!  As in past years the Ada Learn To Swim Program is in need of aides to assist with the lessons.

Ages 12 and up, including adults are encouraged to sign up to help others learn swimming skills.  As little as an hour each day of lessons is helpful. Lessons begin the week of July 11 for 2 weeks Monday through Friday each week.

Help is needed on deck for paperwork as well as in the water.  You do not need to be a good swimmer to help others...we'll help you as well:)

17-day Ada stay for Cadets

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, June 6, 2016

It looked like a circus arrived in town Sunday night with three busses and assorted trucks and trailers.

The Cadets drum and bugle corps are here for the second year to prepare their show for audiences across the U.S.

No, those debarking the buses are not refugees but are highly-selected performers carrying their personal belongings into ONU residence halls for their 17-day stay in Ada. (Monty Siekerman photo)
