Ada Junior Civic League met Monday at the Hanson Neely Funeral Home where Bruce and Sandy Neely shared information about preplanning, choices available, and the care for each family who chooses their services.
The Neelys lived in the Alger funeral home house from 1973 to 1976 before moving into the living quarters of the Ada funeral home after purchasing the business. In 1999 they moved into their own home. The funeral home was remodeled to expand their services at that time.
JCL had their business meeting in the home of Sandy Neely. Reports were given on the recent Harvest and Herb Fest booth and the new crop pecans ordered for sale this November.
ROUNDHEAD - The Ada cross country team ran at the five-team Hardin County Invitational meet on a hilly Roundhead course Tuesday evening.
"Last night's county meet went well considering the hilly course," said Ada head coach Josh Klein. "Our times were a little slower than normal, but given we had to run our longest hill to date - not just once, or twice, but three times - I am still happy with our performance."
The Bulldog boys took fourth of five teams, finishing right behind third-place USV.

Tennis anyone? You might get your feet burned today.
Multiple pieces of paving equipment were at the War Memorial Park on Tuesday morning to resurface the four tennis courts. Through the efforts of community volunteers, 75 percent of the $66,000 cost of resurfacing and fencing was received in grants with the remainder contributed locally by individuals, businesses, and organizations.
The courts will be ready for spring play by the high school boys tennis team. High school girls compete in the fall.
