Ada Regional United Way by Latricia Bryant

Ada Regional United Way (ARUW)is a non-profit organization originally established in 1947 as Community Chest. Our mission statement is: To improve lives by coordinating and promoting the caring power in the community. Our vision statement is: To be the “way” in which volunteers, resources, and agencies are “united” to enhance the quality of life in our community. ARUW has become a community building organization, not simply a fund raising entity. We are involved in the entire community.

Step out of the Darkness event

So many wonderful things are happening in Pontotoc County, Oklahoma now, it is difficult to find time to stop and recognize them.

I spent most of Saturday with community members celebrating the recovery from substance abuse.

Everyone in our community is affected by those in recovery. No matter what your "walk in life" you are indirectly affected. Take a minute and think about it.

Find out how to get involved in our community by opening your eyes and ears. Information can be found in so many places these days; local newspaper, local radio, Face Book, Twitter, etc. If you are not sure where to begin, follow LatriciaB on Twitter or like Ada Regional United Way of Face Book. If you are not on either, simply visit www.adaunitedway.org and keep a watch on the Twitter Feed. As much as possible, I post what is going on in Pontotoc County via this option.

Get involved....make a difference!
