Linda Fleming remembers the invitation from Carolyn Rich to become the Bluffton-Beaverdam-Richland Township United Way executive secretary.
It was 1983. Both women worked at Bluffton University.
As Fleming recalls, Rich walked across the hall from one Riley Court office to the one where Fleming worked. The invitation was to be part of a community service organization, which Fleming might keep for a couple years.
Fleming took the volunteer post, but not for a couple years – instead, for 30 years. This month she’s retiring.
To order a pie, call MMH at 419-358-1015 by Friday, Dec. 20. Fresh pies can be picked up at MMH on Dec. 21, 23, 24, 26 and 27 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Only 25 pies will be sold so individuals interested are encouraged to call soon.

When Fran Reese approached Executive Director, Joy Reichenbach, earlier this year about naming Hilty Home, Pandora, as the recipient of memorial gifts in honor of her late husband, Reichenbach was pleased.
Fran’s husband, Richard Reese, had lived at Hilty Home since June, 2010, and died Jan. 25, 2013. Fran wondered if the memorial gifts could be used to purchase a ceiling lift. A ceiling lift would have been beneficial to Richard and allowed him to stay in the Special Needs Unit where he had become comfortable and familiar.
