American Red Cross volunteer Steve Mahler of Rawson is being deployed to Durham, N.C., as part of the Red Cross response to Hurricane Florence. Mahler will be serving with the Disaster Assessment team.
This is his third recent deployment. In July, Steve deployed to Des Moines, Iowa, serving as a Recovery specialist following flooding in the city. He then deployed to Marshalltown, Iowa, after a tornado struck the community as part of the Disaster Assessment team.
Mahler will be leaving from Toledo Express Airport early Sept. 13 for a two week deployment.
Last week we asked Icon viewers to identify the location of the rabbit in this photo. The rabbit is painted on the mural on the Mercy Health building and can be seen from East Elm Street.
Several viewers provided correct answers. The entry of Marcia Gallant of Bluffton was chosen in a drawing from the winners. She will receive two passes to the Shannon Theatre.
The Service Group of Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio (MHCO) is seeking donations of items, services or “experiences,” for its Silent Auction during Fall Fest, Saturday, Sept. 22.
Funds raised through the auction support activities and improvement projects, benefitting more than 350 MHCO elders. All donations are tax deductible.

For my final report of the year I would like to share with you some of the events that our club members participated in at the Allen County Fair, some member awards, and what we did for our club's final meeting.
Some fun things that some of us did at fair were dodge ball, a 4H dance, barn games, Bovine Dress-Up, Livestock Scramble, and Livestock Judging Contest.
