Since 2005 Mennonite Home Communities had been dreaming of the day when Green House homes would become a reality in Bluffton. In November 2012 the dream was realized, but not fully.
Not until April 26, 2013 were all the licenses and certifications finally complete, allowing full occupancy of both homes. On June 3, Frieda House and Betty House reached full occupancy for the first time.
Diane, for Icon viewers who may not know you, give us some background on your family.
Relatives who live in Bluffton: Our family has lived in Bluffton our whole lives. We grew up in the country about 3 and 1/2 miles from town on Zurflugh Road which is actually named after my great great grandfather, Abraham Zurflugh, who came to America from Canton Bern, Switzerland in 1852.
At our meeting on June 17, we talked about fair IDs. New members and members with their last names starting with A-H need to get their fair ID pictures taken. If you don’t get your fair ID you will have to pay to get into the fair.
Members of the cast of “Driving Miss Daisy,” which was performed in Bluffton this winter, were recognized earlier this month at the Northwest Regional Ohio Community Theatre Association Festival.
On June 8 the cast and crew of Van Wert Civic Theatre’s 2012 production of “Driving Miss Daisy” was one of 12 theatre ensembles from northwest Ohio to showcase an excerpt from their production at the Festival held in Fort Jennings.
This excerpt was chosen as an alternate to present at the State OCTA Festival to be held in September.
