Ada Lions Club launches its biggest fundraiser of the year and you can dig it.
It’s the club’s annual mulch sale. While the sale starts May 7, club members are taking orders now.
All proceeds go to the club’s scholarship fund. Since 2000 the club has awarded $61,000 in scholarship money as a result of the sale, according to Chad Hays of the club.
Here’s the details:
Mulch can be picked up Saturdays after 8 a.m. at Bass Trucking 0410 State Route 81, Ada. Deliveries are available on Saturdays only.

Ohio Northern University student Rachel Cruea, a junior creative writing major from Findlay, Ohio, has received the 2016 Adroit Prize in Poetry, an international poetry prize for undergraduates and high school students presented by The Adroit Journal.
Cruea’s poem, “The Yellow Marrow Doesn’t Matter,” was selected by judge Corey Van Landingham from thousands of entries from around the world. “This gorgeous, unswerving poem holds great power in its address to an ill sibling,” Van Landingham wrote. “Never florid, never easily sentimental, this poet knows: Illness is not grand.”
