BUCI 51

Your guess is as good as our's on thie plate's meaning. Is Buci a nickname. Was Buci born in 1950? Or, sorry, we are out of ideas. We spotted this plate in the Founders Hall parking lot.

Several contract agreements made up much of the March 15 Bluffton school board agenda, however the most important two items were the discussion of the Harmon Field stadium repair and the replacement of high school air conditioning chiller.

The board authorized the Bluffton firm of R.D. Neff & Associates to develop bid specifications, to advertise the project and oversee the bidding process for renovation of the stadium. The bid opening is April 6. The board set a special meeting for April 12 to accept the Harmon Field bid.

You'd think it was spring. The Bluffton area experienced three straight days of 60+ degrees and none were a record high.The high and low temperatures for the last seven days are provided by Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer.

There are two topics from the March 15 school board meeting on which I would like to provide updates.

Methel Benroth will celebrate her 90th birthday on Friday, March 26. A family celebration will be held in her honor. Cards may be sent to the Mennonite Memorial Home, 410 W. Elm St., Bluffton.

Bluffton non-profit organizations are invited to take advantage of a half-price booth cost for the May 22 arts and crafts show. Non-profit groups are invited to create a display about what their organization is all about. They may also sell items from their booth, if they choose.

"It's a great way for local clubs and organizations to share what they are all about to the community," said Jerry Burkholder, craft show vendor coordinator.
