Shriners say thank you!

Thank You Darke County and Surrounding Communities! A few weeks ago several members of the Darke County Shrine Club and their Ladies, totaling 18 in all, traveled to Antioch Shrine Center in Dayton to present the Officers of Antioch with a check for $47000.00 during their Annual Hospital Fund Drive Appreciation Banquet. This donation would not have been possible without the generosity of the good people of Darke County.

I would like to take a moment to personally thank some of the members of the DCSC for their tireless effort in collecting funds each year to support the Shriners Hospitals for Children. First I would like to thank Bob Anthony who for many years has been Fund Drive Chairman here in Darke County, and also has been the guiding effort behind our aluminum can collection which yields a return of upwards of $4000 annually. Our current President of the Shrine Club is David Niley, who was one of the contributing factors in the donations from the Rolling 50s Car Club. We also owe a great deal of gratitude to Bill Bradley who has been instrumental for many years in procuring donations from local service clubs and fraternities such as the Eagles, and The Moose, as well as contributions from local businesses.

We also thank several others who worked to collect donations from businesses and clubs in other communities: John Harman, John Sanders, Darrell Drew and Dale Dickmann. We extend our thanks to the members who served as Captains to coordinate the collections at local businesses: Richard Rhoades, Bob Gray, Phil Stickel, Lowell Arnold, Keith Hocker, and Darrell Drew. We appreciate the cooperation and assistance we received from the local businesses during these collections.

In Greenville: Kroger’s, Eikenberry’s IGA, K-Mart and Martin Street Sunoco. In New Madison: The Mini Mart, New Madison Supermarket and Dollar General. In Arcanum: Arcanum Hardware, Suttons Market and Sunoco Quick Stop. In Union City: Pack a Sack and Marsh Supermarket. We extend our gratitude to the many shrine club members, ladies, K of C members, masonic members and other volunteers who helped. Have I missed anyone? Without your help and the generosity of the people of Darke County this would not have been possible. THANK YOU!
