The Arcanum Preservation Society (APS) is an all-volunteer organization. Their committees are working hard to keep us on track to our goal of restoring the Arcanum Opera House (formerly known as the Arcanum City Building). They are looking for help on the following committees: Finance, Planning, Heritage, Communications, Events & Social Presence, and Nominating. The AHS Class of 1966 is this week’s Special Thank You Group to be highlighted. They not only sponsored 1 window, they sponsored 3 of them! Thank you for your support. Please join the APS Board in celebrating their 3rd anniversary, current officers are Jim Piel, President; Brad Troutwine, Vice President; Bev Rench, Co-Treasurer; Holly Daugherty, Co-Treasurer, Chris Kessler, Secretary; Angela Herron, Communications, Events & Social Presence Committee Chair; Cole Morrie, Heritage Committee Chair; and Paul Myers, Finance Committee Chair. Be sure to put this on your calendar for later this year – there will be Christmas caroling at the 1889 Arcanum Opera House Dec. 3, 10 and 17. More details to come.

LifeWise Academy-Arcanum is going to be held on Mondays starting Sept. 19. If you are interested in getting involved please contact Kristin Fugate at [email protected].

This year during the two-hour early release days (Sept. 28, March 8, and May 3) at Arcanum High School, they are planning to provide our high school students with the opportunity to gain knowledge in “real-life” areas they will face as adults. Students will rotate through four different lessons each of the three days, allowing them to become more knowledgeable about some of these need-to-know life concepts. To help our teachers, HS Principal Jason Stephan is trying to find “experts” in the field that could come and help provide instruction to our students. If you or someone you know would be interested in helping them, please email AHS Principal Jason Stephan at [email protected]. Volunteers would need to commit to the three days listed above, from 7:20 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. The following areas that Mr. Stephan is looking for assistance includes: Investing and Retirement, Taxes and Filing Your Taxes, Insurance and What You Should Have in Case of Emergency, Formal Communication/Job Interview, How to Do the Laundry/Dress for Success, Basics of Cooking- How to use oven/stove/microwave/cooking utensils, Basic First Aid, and General Car Maintenance.

Come and greet old friends and make new ones.
