Ada's latest news

By Jake Dowling, Ada Icon summer intern
It is the summer of 2010. Julie Brewer just graduated from Ohio Northern University with a degree in art education. She had friends, a good life, but she was not ready to jump right into her career, she wanted to explore.

“You know that coming right out of college the job market is going to be tedious and scary, you’re not know sure what opportunities are going to be there, but this opportunity presented itself and I couldn’t say no,” she said.

The opportunity that presented itself was being a part of AmeriCorps, a national organization that fights hunger and poverty here in the U.S.

Bridge Bereavement Services is offering a “Writing Through Grief” workshop for those grieving the current or past death of a loved one.

The workshop will be held Monday, July 16, and Monday, July 23, from 6 to 7 p.m. at Van Buren State Park, 12259 Township Road 218, Van Buren.

Through this event, participants will use various writing techniques to investigate, express and process grief. No previous writing experience is needed and journals will be provided.

Pre-registration is required.  For more information or to register, call Bridge Bereavement Service at 419.423.5351 or e-mail [email protected].
