Beth Boehr, founder of Beyond Budgeting, is sponsoring a "Leaving a Love Legacy" twice in February at the Bluffton Public Library. The sessions are Tuesday, Feb. 16, from 2-4 p.m. and Thursday, Feb. 18, from 6-8 p.m.

During the two-hour workshop, Boehr plans to help individuals and couples by teaching them simple steps to organizing their important paperwork and documents so they can be easily located by their family in case of an emergency.

In addition, she will also be available to answer questions and share other tools and information with attendees.

Note: Following are portions of the Jan. 6 minutes of the Blanchard River Watershed Partnership meeting. Bluffton is a contributing member of the partnership and Nancy Benroth, Bluffton's representative to the group, was re-elected the group's secretary-treasurer.

No, it's not an Ohio plate. It's our neighboring state from the east, Pennsylvania. We saw this license plate in the Rosenberger Drive parking lot at Bluffton University.

The Bluffton Schools are currently accepting applications from students interested in attending the school district through open enrollment for the 2010 -2011 school year, according to Greg Denecker, superintendent.

Students from any school district in Ohio may apply and enroll in the Bluffton Schools tuition free. Students are admitted on a full-time basis only.

Applications are approved annually on a first come, first served basis and approval is subject to grade level enrollment and educational programs.

This fall, a Big Idea Contest sponsored by the Bluffton Center for Entrepreneurs (BCE) encouraged development of creative and unique ideas from area entrepreneurs.

Ideas ranging from senior citizen-friendly home design to a robotic ice cream maker sprung from the minds of persons in northwestern Ohio, which were entered into BCE's contest. The contest winners now have more than just an idea; they have a little extra money, as well, as a plan to possibly start their own businesses some day, thanks to BCE.
