Whether it was colorful leggings, homemade wreaths, Tupperware, or scents that are out of this world, the Ladies Luncheon at Ohio Northern had all of that and more.
Nine ladies, who are consultants or independent distributors, sold their wares at ONU Affinity Village on Saturday. They try to get together for a group show every other month in Bluffton, Ada, or a nearby town for the convenience of the shopper. And, they bring food for lunch which in itself is a treat.
At Bluffton University, students are held to a distinct system of accountability, one that permeates not only academic integrity, but all aspects of community life.
Bluffton is one of just 100 or so colleges and universities in the United States with an honor code.
