Zane is eight years old and is continuing his battle with leukemia. His wish is to go to the recently opened Mario Nintendo World at Universal Studios Hollywood. A Special Wish Golf Outing Fundraiser will be held Saturday, June 10 at 2 p.m. at Turtle Creek Golf Course, 6545 US Route 36, Greenville. To register to play or donate, please contact the event coordinator at 937-417-4974. Tickets are $360 for a team of four or $100 per player; ticket includes raffle ticket, golf, and the meal. Registration is at 12:30 p.m. in a four-man scramble with a shotgun start at 2 p.m. Zane is the son of Shane Rhodehamel and Darlene Barga and has been battling leukemia for the past four and a half years.

Arcanum will be busy and have all kinds of activities going on during the middle of June! Lots of activities are being sponsored by the Arcanum Area Business Association, the Village of Arcanum, and the Arcanum A# Music Boosters. The event will start on Wednesday, June 14th with community wide garage sales. If you are planning on hosting a garage sale there is a community list to advertise all the sales – contact Stephanie Harshbarger at [email protected] to add yours to the listing by June 8th! There will also be multiple events in Ivester Park including foot trucks, a craft beer tasting “A Spirited Night in the Park,” a family movie night, and family fun games will also be available for the enjoyment of everyone.

Back by popular demand! The Arcanum Alumni Association is offering for sale the Trojan Fan Gear items: Coffee mug, Frosted Mug, and the Tumbler. Proceeds go to next year’s scholarship fund – samples and order forms are available at Miller’s Tavern, Huston’s Restaurant, and The Rose Post or see this story at dailyadvocate.com for a link.

A traffic light installation at Main Street/Trojan Avenue is scheduled to take place this summer. Information to parents about the changes in the flow of traffic will be sent at the end of the school year and again at the beginning of next school year.

Thank you to the Arcanum Garden Club for all; their hard work in planting flowers at Generation Square, the library, the gazebo in the park and in the flowerpots uptown. They always do such a wonderful job in beautifying our public spaces! Thank you, ladies!

Arcanum Elementary second grade students learned about storm safety and were able to ask weather related questions during a recent visit with meteorologist Kirstie Zontini from WHIO Channel 7. Thank you, Sally Lemons, for organizing the virtual visit with our students!
