0

Happy Birthday to a special lady in our community – Helen North turned 96 years old on July 8. She celebrated with her family for the whole weekend at her home and also by going out to eat with family. The birthday girl was also noted as “having a really good time” with her family at home. Some of you may remember Helen from Toops’ Bakery many years ago, always serving with a smile! Helen’s daughters are Imocaryl Livingston, Linda (Steve) Price, Melody Julian, and Rhonda (Carl) Fair. She has nine grandsons and one granddaughter; and five great-grandsons and nine great-granddaughters! Congratulations Helen!

Don’t forget to come out on Friday, July 26 from 3-8 p.m. at the Arcanum Fieldhouse to support the Arcanum Band High School Band on Community Night. There will be a live band performance along with food trucks and lots of fun for everyone.

The next Coffee and Conversation with Glenn Eley at the Arcanum Wayne Trail Historical House will be held on Saturday, Aug. 10 at 10 a.m. Glenn is an Arcanum community resident and a WWII veteran. He has many stories to tell. He also attended Mt. Summit School back in the days of one-room school houses. Please plan to join them for the final Coffee and Conversation of the summer.

The Arcanum Alumni Advisory Committee will have a short meeting on Monday, Aug. 12 at 6:30 p.m. at Faith United Methodist Church. Tickets will go on sale on Aug. 10 for the Pulled Pork Dinner to be held prior to the home varsity football contest for Homecoming on October 4th versus Ansonia. Every year the committee looks for new members to help them plan and prepare for the next year’s banquet; a lot of people state they don’t have time or just don’t want to get involved for a whole year.

You might ask yourself, what could I do that would help? Have you ever thought about maybe just donating an hour one time a year to help sell tickets? Organizers for the Pulled Pork Dinner would love to talk to you. They need volunteers to help sell tickets, if you are interested in volunteering call Sally Sharritts at 692-5245. All proceeds from the fundraisers go directly to the scholarship fund.

The next Baker Family Project meeting is July 27 at 1 p.m. at the Arcanum Wayne Trail Historical Society in Arcanum at 123 W. George Street. Baker Reunion in Greenville will be held on August 18 at Noon at the Brick Room at Brethren Retirement Community. Contact Jeanne Woolf Bill Baker for details at 417-3746 or [email protected] with questions.

The Miller’s Daughter – A Fashion Show Fundraiser: This event is presented by Tessa Clark, the daughter of the Miller at Bear’s Mill on Aug. 3 at 4:30 p.m. and August 4 at 8 a.m. at 6450 Arcanum-Bears Mill Road. Tessa was a contestant (designer) on Season 17 Project Runway. The fashion show includes looks from Ohio based boutiques Idlewild, Sloane, Youniques Boutique, and Sadie Grace, as well as one-of-a-kind garments inspired by historic Bear’s Mill.
