In mid-June BFR begins sport programs and camps, including tennis, basketball, t-ball, volleyball, field hockey and soccer. A family scavenger hunt and pre-school adventure camp are also scheduled.

June 16 is the start date for summer tennis lessons at BFR. Youth entering grade 2 or above are invited to register for the 6 week lesson package. Tennis groups are assigned based on skill levels; classes meet on Monday, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.  Cost varies depending on the level ($55-70).

There is still time to sponsor a flag flying on Bluffton’s Main Street this summer.  The S.H.A.N.N.O.N. (Sharing Hopes And Nourishing Needs Of Neighbors) Service Club of Bluffton is accepting donations for the Main Street Flag Fund.

With each donation of $25, you may name someone who you wish to honor or memorialize. For more information, or to request a flag form, call Duane Bollenbacher at 419-358-7365.  The names of donors and those people honored or memorialized will be recognized this summer through several  outlets.

Bluffton stringed instrument players will be in tune this summer as the summer strings program gets underway later this month, according to Rachael Lewis, teacher.

Here’s a chance for you to clean out your attic and do a good deed at the same time.

Beth Cogley, Bluffton High School teacher and Buccaneer yearbook advisor, notified The Icon that the yearbook collection at BHS has some missing volumes.

She invited The Icon to announce this in hopes that BHS yearbook holders who don’t know what to do with their old copies might find a donation to the school worthwhile.
