Several news announcements came from the recent Ada Kiwanis Club meeting.
• Shigehobu Yoshimoto, a guest of member Joe Ferguson, was welcomed to the meeting. He is a chaperone for the Labo program (sponsored by 4-H), which brings Japanese youth to the United Sates for an American experience.
• Long-time member Charles VanDyne was congratulated on being installed as Grand Esteemed Leading Knight at the recent Grand Lodge Convention of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks held in Indianapolis, Indiana. He will assume the position at the Grand Lodge’s session next year in Houston, Texas.

Keith Wire holds Alice, a dog the family rescued as a puppy.
Alice is now 17 years old and still occasionally spends time at the hardware store greeting customers.
Her birthday is July, the exact date unknown since she was found as a stray. Advertisements and flyers could not locate the original owners, so the Wires took her in. She has been part of the family for many years.
