Ada Kiwanis Club members took a lunch trip to Kewpee Restaurant, Lima, on May 7. The event was more than just an occasion to eat out.
The club thanked the Shutt family for its assistance in the Kiwanis pancake and sausage day events held each spring.
Joe Ferguson, Kiwanis president, thanked Kewpee’s Scott Shutt for his family’s generous to the pancake and sausage events.
He noted the success of previous year’s breakfasts and said that Kewpee sponsorships started in 2007, adding that profits from the project have increased significantly since 2007.

Ada Junior Civic League members know the value of pecan sales.
Earlier this week, the league distributed $1,000 in proceeds from this year’s peacan sales to three Ada organizations.
Checks included:
• $600 to Ada schools Boots for Bulldogs program,
• $200 to the Ada school lunch program, and
• $200 to the Ada Public Library’s summer reading program.
Presenting the checks in behalf of the league were Sherry Evans, president, and Bev Romick, special projects chair.
Ada 4-H club, Liberty Belles and Boys, wanted to make Ada a safe community – so they did something about it.
Last summer the club held an ice cream social fundraiser. It generated $500 and the proceeds were recently donated to the Ada police department for surveillance equipment for the department’s S.A.F.E.R. program.
Project S.A.F.E.R. (Seeking Aid From Every Resident) is Ada's own community policing initiative started in January of 2002. It is a winner of the 2003 Ohio Crime Prevention's Community Policing Strategy Award, aimed at nurturing the relationship with the community.
All that reading paid off last week for Ada elementary students.
The Ada Academic Boosters reading carnival was the reward, as students earned points all year for their reading. There were games and more games as students, Kindergarten through fifth grade tried their skill at lots of activities.
