Letter: Thanks to all who assisted in this year's Red Cross Learn to Swim Program

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, July 29, 2015

Icon viewers:

The 2015 Red Cross Learn To Swim Program is completed for this summer. 

This year 75 students participated in the rainy days of lessons. I would like to thank the Village of Ada for the facility to hold the lessons. The water was wonderful, although a bit cool, the pool area was always clean and ready for our use and the lifeguards were very attentive to the swimmers. The pool staff had the facility open and ready for the volunteers and swimmers every morning.

Happy birthday, Alice!

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, July 28, 2015

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.
