Library program
The Jay County Public Library will host a make-n-take Christmas card program on Tuesday, Nov. 1, beginning at 6:30 pm.

Registration is required and may be made by calling the library at (260) 726-7890.
Projects sought
The national FFA organization is seeking civic projects that members can undertake next year.
The projects should benefit the community, can be sustained or expanded over a seven-year period, and contain certain required elements which include student leadership development and personal growth, community development, an educational component, and is agri-science related.
The projects must be in the seven counties surrounding Marion County, including Hancock, Shelby, Johnson Morgan, Hendricks, Boone, and Hamilton.
The national organization will move its annual convention to Indianapolis Oct. 25 through 28, 2006, and the proposals are being sought for the Oct. 26 Day of Service.
Thousands of FFA members will participate in the selected projects. The intent is to foster leadership development through servant leadership initiatives that impact FFA members and Hoosier youth. Organizations with an educational, service, or philanthropic mission are encouraged to submit a proposal by Nov. 30 this year. Announcement of accepted proposals will be made in February.
