ADULT BOOK GROUP

Tuesday, Feb. 7, 7 p.m.
1838: James and Sadie Goodenough have settled where their wagon got stuck – in the muddy, stagnant swamps of northwest Ohio.

They and their five children work relentlessly to tame their patch of land, buying saplings from a local tree man known as John Appleseed so they can cultivate the fifty apple trees required to stake their claim on the property.

The Ada Kiwanis Club will meet on Tuesday, Jan. 17, at noon in the Dean's Heritage Room, McIntosh Center, Ohio Northern University.  Special guest will be a representative from Blanchard Valley Hospital, Bluffton campus, to discuss the Bluffton Hospital's Women' Center.

Heather Shaffer, a fifth-year pharmacy student from Ada, Ohio, has been selected to the Paul Ambrose Scholars Program. 

The program exposes health professions students to influential public health professionals and prepares them to be leaders in addressing population health challenges at the national and community level.

Since 2002, more than 600 students from 207 academic institutions have become Paul Ambrose Scholars, equipped with leadership and organizational skills in public health education that can only be found outside of the classroom.
