The Mennonite Memorial Home and Maple Crest Senior Living Village honored their volunteers at a special reception March 30. The reception was held at The Mennonite Memorial Home chapel. Staff and residents took time to thank those who came for all they did throughout the year. Each volunteer received a gift bag to take home.

The Mennonite Memorial Home has over 250 volunteers working in different positions at the Home. These volunteers have logged in 3,917 hours at MMH. That's 75 hours a week that volunteers are giving to MMH, which is almost two full-time employees.

Icon viewers:
How is the census sent out? Areas are divided into sections and each section is sent the census form at a different time. In Bluffton there are several different sections and not all sections have received the form.

It you haven't received it, don't panic. It should be coming. Please complete and send back as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Nancy L. Benroth
Assistant Village Administrator

Letter: Could you add a genealogy section to The Icon?

Posted by Fred Steiner on March 29, 2010 - 1:12pm

Bluffton Icon:
First, I want to congratulate you on a great website! I was excited when I found it as I was looking for information on an old school in Allen County - Diller School.

I don't think you know me. I lived in Pandora for 11 years on the family homestead. We bought the farm on which my mother was born from my Uncle Clifton Neuenschwander. It's located on Road R between Road 3 and Road 4.
