Ron and Barbara Young
Ron and Barbara Young were the first two to become "Leaders" for ARC during ARC's first membership drive. Barbara Young, who has spent many years serving on Ada's City Council, recently remarked, "I have supported the efforts of the Ada Recycling Coalition for more than ten years because I strongly believe in their aims and goals for Ada....to educate the public about reducing the waste stream to save space in the landfill and to promote reusing or recycling as much as possible. ARC's proposals to the Ada City Council have helped to guide and shape our recycling program and have kept Ada ahead of most cities in Oklahoma. I'm proud to continue to support ARC."
