The Bluffton Icon welcomes two new bloggers to its site.
Lyle Arnold's blog is "Dugoutsteps."
He describes his blog and himself this way:
Being born in the country, just outside of Beaverdam, I had ample opportunity to play outside. This helped lead to my love of baseball. It also helped that my brother, Mark, became my Little League baseball coach. We didn't have a great team in Beaverdam, but we did
have a lot of fun.

The Mennonite Memorial Home has a need for a volunteer in its Mobile Meal program.
"We deliver Mobile Meals to people in the Bluffton community. Each day the meals are delivered by a local volunteer. Currently we have a need for a volunteer on the third Monday of each month," said Mary Ann Ring, volunteer coordinator.
"The volunteering only takes about 45 miutes and starts at 11:30 a.m. If any one is interested they can contact Ring at 419-358-1015.
Over 230 volunteers donated 4,308 hours of time to the Mennonite Memorial Home in 2010, according to Mary Ann Ring, MMH volunteer coordinator.
