Union County • June 25, 2025
Good morning, Union County. In Ohio, more than 236,000 people are living with Alzheimer's—behind each of those individuals stands a caregiver navigating challenges most of us can't imagine. Richwood is stepping up with free monthly support meetings at the Civic Center, creating a vital lifeline for those on this difficult journey. The next gathering happens July 1, offering both practical resources and the equally important gift of community for those affected.
Meanwhile, Marysville's diamond is shining a little brighter as senior softball standout Sienna Hutchins caps her high school career with first-team All-Ohio honors before heading to Bowling Green. Her impressive legacy includes ranking second in program history for home runs, triples, and runs scored. In other local developments, Delaware City is joining downtown revitalization efforts with a modest $4,743 contribution to a Special Improvement District aimed at beautifying the area.
