Where do you start when you have over 350 photos to chose from? We've narrowed down our selection to one for each month - it was a tough project.

Linda Fleming remembers the invitation from Carolyn Rich to become the Bluffton-Beaverdam-Richland Township United Way executive secretary.
It was 1983. Both women worked at Bluffton University.
As Fleming recalls, Rich walked across the hall from one Riley Court office to the one where Fleming worked. The invitation was to be part of a community service organization, which Fleming might keep for a couple years.
Fleming took the volunteer post, but not for a couple years – instead, for 30 years. This month she’s retiring.
Edgar S. Cook, 95, died Dec. 26, 2013 at Willow Ridge - Frieda House, Bluffton. Arrangements are incomplete at Chiles-Laman Funeral & Cremation Services, Bluffton.
