Businessmen Rescue Ada Community Chest Effort
About one hundred Ada businesspeople gathered at a Friday meeting called by Burl Harris to address the Ada Community Chest. A committee was formed to study a United Fund type organization for 1982, with J. B. Lynn named general drive chairman. The group discussed boosting volunteer participation and the scope of fund drives, weighing a single consolidated campaign against separate agency appeals and noting past shortfalls in soliciting folders.
