Final lunch of the summer - now it's back to school

Program is a major endeavor

By Monty Siekerman
Eva Wolke and Calvin Fisher hand out piece after piece of pizza on Friday at the village pool during a pizza and pool party to conclude the free lunch program orchestrated by ReStore.

There isn't a count yet this year, but 1,500 free meals were given free to Ada area youngsters last year, so the program is a major endeavor.

The lunches were served Monday through Friday at War Memorial Park from the end of school in May until yesterday.

Now, its back to school. The ReStore program was especially popular on Fridays since there were water games and prizes that day.

F&M Picnic is here!

Gates open Saturday AM; parade at 9:30 a.m.

Pool closes with free swim Saturday

The Village pool at War Memorial Park closes on Saturday, but swimming that day will be free. The pool will conclude its summer swim and numerous activities with free admission from 1-8 p.m., during the F & M Picnic.

Shortly after the pool closes for the summer, a major renovation will begin, which will be concluded by the time the pool opens next May.

Free pizza and swim today

Today (Friday) will be the last free lunch of the summer sponsored ReStore at War Memorial Park, but the summer program ends with a bang.

There will be a pizza party at the pool and free swimming from noon until 1 p.m.
ReStore has held free lunches and games for the youth of the community since school was dismissed in May.

Today's lunch, party and swim will be the last this year since school starts on Tuesday.

Ada School Board will meet

The Ada school board will meet at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 17, at the school.
