A support group for caregivers of spouses or family members with Alzheimer’s disease is scheduled the third Monday of each month at 3:30 p.m. at Mennonite Memorial Home, Bluffton. The group meets in the library at the Home, located at 410 W. Elm Street.
Group facilitators are Tricia Herrmann, RN, and Janet Schroeder, LSW. The focus of the group is to allow each member to discuss his/her issues involved in caring for their loved one with Alzheimer’s. Speakers can be brought in to address specific topics at the request of the group.
Paul Craun, former Bluffton resident and construction professional, announced that he has filed to run for Hancock County commissioner in the May 8 Republican primary.
He will be emphasizing “Leading Together” as the theme for his campaign, bringing together business, community and government.

The Bluffton Lions Club hosted a team from the Nationwide Children’s Hospital at their club meeting on Feb. 6. Dr. Randal Olshefski, pediatric oncologist, was the speaker for the group.
A fact given during the presentation is: "Every two minutes a child is diagnosed with cancer and less than half of the world’s children have access to effective care."
