Around the ‘Burg

0

Hello Lewisburg!

Welcome spring! We had a welcome surprise last week. Our yellow crocuses were shining brightly and shouting, “It’s spring!” Even though we have had a mild winter, isn’t it great to know that blue skies, warm temperatures and grilling out are just within our reach? Check out the beautiful daffodils at Pastor Cavendish’s parsonage (beside Lewisburg Trinity Lutheran Church). They are beautiful! Another sign of God’s great love for all of us.

Bicentennial 2018

Harrison Township was found in 1815 because there were so many people living in Twin Township. Divided into two equal parts, the new township was named after General William Henry Harrison who was a popular military and political figure at that time. He later became our ninth President of the United States. The remaining half was known as Twin Township.

We would like to thank all of you who are enjoying the Bicentennial Facts. We are researching for unique facts which have made this village important.

2016 SAPP Town Hall Meeting

Twisted Sisters and the Village of Lewisburg would like to thank Police Chief Rick McGee, his staff, LEU and the Lewisburg Fire Department, Bill Derringer, Superintendent of Tri-County North Schools, Village of Lewisburg officials and the speakers who shared their life stories and opened their hearts to allow us to feel and understand their pain for the messages shared at the 2016 SAPP Town Hall Meeting held on March 14.

Approximately 100 people attended this Town Hall Meeting, the third in the series being presented in Preble County. After reviewing data and the signs of drug related issues, local speakers spoke on their family pain as they endured the needs of their children. The signs included: self esteem issues, depression, missing spoons from the silverware drawer, disappointment and eventually lying to their family and friends. The most used statement was, “It’s not my kid!”

How many times have we made excuses for others’ issues?

Each of the speakers encouraged the crowd to get involved in your child’s or grandchild’s life. Know who their friends are and check out the community. There is help within the county and programs to help our kids. Stay tuned for future updates regarding this very critical issue.

Thank you to all who attended the Town Meeting. Let’s make a difference in our community. Stand up against this drug problem which is altering the lives of so many.
