Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio (MHCO), a Bluffton retirement community that offers a continuum of care, has begun negotiations with the East Central District-Missionary Church with respect to the future operation, management and ownership of Hilty Memorial Home, Pandora. When completed, the proposed structure would welcome Hilty Memorial Home as an affiliate member of MHCO.
Bluffton University retired football coach Carlin Carpenter recently entertained the Maple Crest Senior Living group known as "Men-N-Friends" with some of Carpenters own songs and stories.
Arriving in a comfortable-looking pair of jeans and a denim shirt, he claimed that by the time he was done with his one-man show, everyone present would love country music.
Carpenter told a story to the group that he once surprised even himself ago by winning first place at a Brown Derby Town Contest in Dallas, Texas, during a football coach convention.
