Last month Icon viewers learned about volunteers at the Mennonite Memorial Home involved in relief efforts for Haiti.

This month the story continues. Thirty-six area residents, mostly members of St. John Mennonite Church, Pandora, along with several others from around northwestern Ohio are either now in Haiti or headed there soon.

The community meal for this evening, Feb. 3, has been cancelled due to cold weather. School cancellation means that organized activities at the Senior Citizen Center are also cancelled. Next Community Meal will be Feb. 17, according to Steve Yoder of the Bluffton Area Ministerial Association.

Despite several event cancellations due to the weather Bluffton's American Red Cross blood drive for Thursday, Feb. 3 is still on.
