Cost is $20 per person, per trip, and preregistration is necessary.
Max Gauthier, the tech expert at the Ada Public Library, will hold a hands-on virtual reality session at noon, Saturday, April 15, at the library. This will be a time to experience virtual reality and ask questions!
The Ada Church of Christ will sponsor a pulled pork dinner on Saturday, May 6, to benefit the Porcelain ministry, which assists unwed mothers in the Ada area, and the Ft. Wayne Children's Home.
Eat-in and carry out will be available from 4:30 until 7 p.m. at the church which is located at 316 S. Main. Tickets are $7 and may be purchased by calling 419-233-4476
The Ada Senior Citizens will dine together at Table One (formerly Brunson's restaurant) on the square in Kenton at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, April 12. Those wishing to carpool are asked to meet at Community Health Professionals by 11 a.m. Those 55 or older may join the group for an annual $10 membership fee.
The annual Kappa Alpha Theta Easter Egg Hunt for all local children will be held Sunday, April 9, at 12:30 p.m. at War Memorial Park...and the Easter Bunny will be there, too.
Children will be divided into three age groups: preschool, K-2, grade 3 and up.
A 'golden" egg will be hidden for each category. Those who find the "golden" will win a basket full of goodies. Youngsters may have their picture taken with the Easter Bunny.
The sorority has been hosting the event for more than a decade. It draws a large crowd of children each year. In case of inclement weather, the hunt will begin at noon at Affinity Commons on campus.
