Serve Arcanum returns
By Vickie Rhodehamel - Arcanum News for the week of April 5, 2021
Serve Arcanum returns to the community for its 8th annual Serve Arcanum project on Friday, May 7, 2021, from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. Once again, high school students are available to assist you with projects at your home, business, church, or organization. A few examples of projects that they would be willing to do for you are lawn care, painting, cleaning, and organization. If you or someone you know needs assistance with a project, school administrators will be glad to help them make it happen. All they need from you is to complete a Serve Arcanum form and return it to the school. You can also submit your request to Arcanum High School Principal Jason Stephan at jason stephan@arcanum-butler.k12.oh.us. The rain date for this event is May 14. All forms are due by April 23, 2021.
Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day
By Vickie Rhodehamel - Arcanum News for the week of March 15, 2021
Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day is not the same when you are grieving, in fact, nothing is. If you are missing a loved one, I just wanted you to know that I will be thinking of you. This will be my second widowed St. Patrick’s Day. Although it is not my intention to walk around under a cloud of doom, I cannot help having some resentment when I hear well-intended “Happy St. Patrick’s Day” greetings, along with every other “happy this” or “happy that” greeting in the first couple of years after suffering the loss of my spouse. Sure, I wanted to be happy, but grief is not a happy process.
