In an effort to help relieve some of the hardship and financial difficulty of the depressed economy in the Pandora and Gilboa area, the churches of the Pandora and Gilboa area are offering food boxes on the last Saturday of every month for households in the Pandora-Gilboa School district that find themselves in need.

In order to pick up a box, you must register by 5 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 16, by calling 419-384-3905. Leave name , address, and phone number.

Icon viewers may now read the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce newsletter of Jan. 6. It is in a printer-friendly attachment at the bottom of this story.

In the newsletter is information about Ideal Images, Bluffton's newest business. It is owned by Rachel Webster of Bluffton and is located in the former Morey's Coffee Shop at 114 E. College Ave. Webster will be introduced at the Friday, Jan. 13, chamber breakfast.
