Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce will focus on "How can we improve Bluffton?" during its Friday, Jan. 17, monthly chamber breakfast. The meeting is in the third floor of the town hall.
Richland Manor is the breakfast sponsor and will provide the free breakfast with serving starting at 7 a.m. The breakfast meeting starts at 7:30 a.m.
"Once we get into the program portion of the meeting we will split into smaller groups. Each group will tackle these questions, and will eventually report back to the larger group," said Fred Steiner, chamber director.
The Village of Bluffton’s refuse and recycling contractor, Allied Waste (Republic Services), has informed the Village that they will be unable to pick up residential refuse and recycling Tuesday as previously hoped for.
Given the current weather conditions, they are unable to operate. They had hoped to be able to operate on a one-day-behind schedule.
Residents who are on the Monday pick-up schedule will not have their garbage and recycling picked up until next Monday (Jan. 13).

But despite the fact that “the weather outside is frightful,” comments posted on Facebook suggested that few local residents minded staying inside.
