I am blessed to volunteer with the Community Assistance Program occasionally and especially during adopt a family. The year 56 families/individuals were adopted. What is special about adopt a family? Each month they come and get about five items and pick out 25 to 30 items in the pantry.They know that most of it is donated, but during adopt a family someone /organization specifically takes care of a family, they make that connection, they know someone cared.
Christmas cheer went out to 56 families in the Bluffton school district, thanks to efforts of the Bluffton Community Assistance Program's "Adopt A Family" program. Volunteer donors provided gifts, food and essential items to the families being assisted by the program.
Ah! The Christmas spirit lives on the sculpture at Snider Circle on the Bluffton University campus. The sculpture was decorated last week with Christmas tree ornaments.
The Beavers fell 72-61 to the Transylvania University Pioneers on Saturday, Dec. 15, after a 79 percent second half field goal percentage propelled the visitors to a 72-61 victory.
The Beavers, attempting to repeat last year’s home victory over the Pioneers, stormed out to a 13-point lead after Dustin Kinn (New Reigal) netted eight points in the first 10 minutes of the game.
