Two Bluffton residents were elected as board members of the Blanchard River Watershed Partnership (BRWP) for 2017, according to Phil Martin, watershed coordinator.
They are Judy Augsburger, Bluffton mayor, and Robert Antibus, retired biology professor at Bluffton University.
A third board member, Jeremiah “Bud” Haselman, represents the Cranberry Creek watershed. He holds a business degree in marketing and management from Bluffton University and lives in rural Pandora.
The study guide, "Human Sexuality in Biblical Perspective" will be presented during a 4 p.m. event on March 30 in Bluffton University’s Musselman Library Reading Room.
Lois Johns Kaufmann, who was conference minister of Mennonite Church USA’s Central District Conference at the time the guide was produced, wrote the foreword and coordinated the work that led to publication.
Six Bluffton businesses have partnered to encourage area youth to shop local for all of their prom needs by using an Ultimate Prom Pass.
The idea of the “prom pass” originated from a conversation between two friends, Rachel Davis, owner of Studio Silhouette, and Joanna Gratz, a Compassionate Entrepreneur with Trades of Hope.
“We originally were talking about how the two of us could partner so high school girls could get their prom dress and jewelry in one stop,” said Gratz.
