MOW To Bank On Local Dollars In Ottawa
After a two hour discussion Ottawa Meals on Wheels voted to fund the program locally. Chair Tom Gleason said letters will seek support from churches and groups while elderly clients may contribute toward meals. ECKAN started the service in 1973 with federal funds, and local contributions have kept it running through September. Terri MacNevin of ECKAN noted four county funding options and tray costs, but said ECKAN may divest if Ottawa takes over.

Area Weather and Ottawa group funding discussion
County forecast shows mostly cloudy with scattered storms possible Saturday. Highs in the mid 50s, lows tonight in the mid 70s. A multi county board may fund the Ottawa group with federal money, or reallocate funds for six to nine months. Joe Wakefield accuses Mrs. MacNevin of blackmail over funding. The group debated federal funding restrictions and the need to raise about $12 000 annually. Sylvia Lehner urged continuing trays and inserts while bypassing federal funds and starting a fundraising drive. Henry Roberts resigns from the fundraising committee.
