Herb Grismore probably lost track of the number of rag rugs he’s created over the years at Bluffton Senior Citizens Center.
During the December center’s dinner meeting Herb was recognized as the volunteer of the year of the senior association for his contributions.
Chosen by the senior center board of directors, the award goes to a volunteer who has shown dedication to the center. Visitors and shoppers at the center can’t miss Herb, as he sits near the north wall working his artist talents on the rug loom.
According to Ada resident LeAnn Pryor, BBBS of West Central Ohio program director, the common denominators among Littles are single-parent families and a lower income. Still, there are many unique reasons for participation.
