An important Bluffton senior citizen celebrates 50 years on Dec. 7 – and wait a minute, how can a senior citizen be only 50?
Answer: It’s the Bluffton Senior Citizen Association.
The December event is a combined Christmas, anniversary and annual meeting party, according to Tonya Meyer, director. It will take place at The Centre at Bluffton and additional details are still being put together.
The event includes a lunch, vote on board members, an annual memorial service and celebration of some of its members reaching 90 years.
This year’s national campaign reminds motorists that they need to use caution around school buses and come to a stop when the bus is displaying its red flashing lights.
Ohio law requires motorists to stop clear of the school bus until the bus driver cancels the red lights.
On Oct. 9, the U.S. Department of Agriculture extended its free breakfast and lunch program offered to school from Dec. 31 until the end of the school year.
Bluffton Schools participates in the federal meal program, which began Sept. 10.
The program was extended to all schools as a response to economic concerns brought on for many families by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Students who have balances on their accounts can be used in the meantime for additional ala cart menu items beyond the basic lunch.
