Bluffton author, Joanne Niswander, will hold a book signing for her recently released book “Reflections from Maple Crest Pond,” on Saturday.
The book signing is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 14, at Book ReViews, 123 S. Main St., Bluffton, according to Dr. Christina Walton, store manager.

On Nov. 7 life-long Bluffton resident Bob Neff passed a milestone achieved by only a handful of world residents.
He celebrated the 30th anniversary of having a heart transplant. His transplant occurred in 1985, one day after his 33rd birthday.
“I think about it every day,” Bob told the Icon in an interview last week. “I’m blessed with a gift and I don’t take it lightly. The Lord has me here for a purpose.”
Neff’s heart problems date back to the age of 13, when several bouts of pneumonia prompted his doctor to send him to Columbus Children’s Hospital.
They are kids, community leaders, artists, musicians, single moms, teachers and local “characters.” They all come together to present a cross-section of a community that’s uniquely. . . Findlay.
When “Humans of Findlay” goes on sale this month, area residents will have a chance to own a moment in time; a collection of stories that are, at once, nostalgic and offbeat. A collaboration between The University of Findlay and the Hancock Historical Museum, “Humans of Findlay” features approximately 180 profiles of local individuals drawn from a popular Facebook page.
Maple Crest Senior Living Village, 700 Maple Crest Court, Bluffton, will host the musical group, “Work in Progress,” in concert.
The free concert is at 6:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 14, and is open to the public. To learn more, the Work in Progress Ministries can be found on Facebook.
November is National Home Care & Hospice Month. Fittingly, Mennonite Home Health & Senior Services, Bluffton, has been name a national best practice agency by Fazzi Associates.
Organizations named as national best practice agencies are proven leaders and have excelled in the important measure of patient satisfaction.
