The Arcanum Alumni Association cordially invites all alumni to the 2023 Arcanum Alumni Banquet to come enjoy a good meal and the fellowship of classmates and friends in a relaxed, casual atmosphere on April 15, no suits, ties or high heels necessary. This exciting day for the county’s top spellers was held at Romer’s Catering in Greenville where 32 students and their parents gathered to share a special lunch before the 2023 Darke County Spelling Bee, hosted by Darke County Educational Service Center (ESC), commenced. Accordingly, Christians fasted from Monday to Saturday (six days) during six weeks and from Wednesday to Saturday (four days) in the preceding week, thus making up the number of 40 days. The Arcanum Alumni asks that you consider sending a donation to the Scholarship Fund to further the education of our current senior class. Every Sunday was seen as a commemoration of the Sunday of Christ’s resurrection and so as a feast day on which fasting was inappropriate. To help with these increasing costs, the directors are asking for people to “Adopt a Character” from their upcoming production of The Wizard Of Oz. The scholarships are funded by local businesses and the alumni base. Ash Wednesday is a day of fasting, the first day of Lent in Western Christianity. By the Middle Ages, Valentine assumed the image of a heroic and romantic figure amongst the masses in England and France. Ash Wednesday derives its name from the practice of blessing ashes made from palm branches blessed on the previous year Palm Sunday, and placing them on the heads of participants to the accompaniment of the words “Repent, and believe in the Gospel” or “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” According to the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, Jesus Christ spent 40 days fasting in the desert, where he endured temptation by Satan; Lent originated as a mirroring of this, fasting 40 days as preparation for Easter. It is said that in the Rome of ancient times people observed a holiday on Feb. In the beginning the trend was to send handmade cards but this changed at the beginning of the 19th century when mass-produced greeting cards caught fancy with people.

This Tuesday is February 14, which mean's it's Valentine's Day 2023. It's a day for giving gifts and for spreading the love, so many people want to know ...

- "You must have known that I was lonely because you came to my rescue, and I know that this must be heaven. You love them in spite of the fact that they're not." - "You don't love someone because they're perfect. Oh, my love is like the melody, that's sweetly played in tune." - "Oh, my love is like a red, red rose, that's newly sprung in June. - "When we love, we always strive to become better than we are.

Etiquette expert William Hanson tells Newsbeat the dos and don'ts for your socials after a split.

"I wouldn't suggest doing a thirst trap ever but I can understand the desire for people to get a little bit of validation from people online." If we haven't all done it, we've probably thought about it. "Writing it down on your phone can help, but actually sending it to them very rarely does and you can come across as a little bit weird if you do that." "It's never a good idea to post publicly about your break-up, to bad mouth them," William says. "I would be tempted to go cold turkey for a few days, just to really reflect and think about what the best course of action should be." And I would just take a moment to think what you do," William tells Newsbeat.
