LOUDONVILLE The Loudonville Rotary Club parlayed a $1,000 We Are One grant from Rotary District 6600 (northwest Ohio) with $2,000 in locally raised funds to make a $3,000 contribution to next year’s Mohican Area Community Fund Drive.
Challenged by the district last fall to come up with uses of the We Are One grant, the Rotary decided to make the funds and the local match available to the community fund as a way to help the most people in the Mohican area.
Local match for the grant came from money raised in the OSU football raffle last fall, and the flower sale earlier this spring.

LOUDONVILLE The Mohican Area Community Fund, the Loudonville-Perrysville area’s version of a United Appeal-type organization, has surpassed its 2021 campaign goal of $90,000.
The campaign proceeds will be divided among 33 local, area and national nonprofit agencies.
Speaking at the Jan. 28 meeting of the Rotary Club of Loudonville, MACF President Jane Stoops reported that as of that day $91,441 had been contributed, adding “we expect money to continue to come in through the end of February. We still haven’t received some of our share of donations and pledges from area industries that are collected by the United Way of Ashland County.”
