Ferne Reilich Honored

Ferne was honored for her picture book, The Old Elm Tree, the story of an Elm tree that had to be taken down at Stubbs Park. The book can be enjoyed at the Storybook Trail at Stubbs Park. The path is ADA-accessible and is located behind the amphitheater.

Pat Bethel Honored

On Monday, July 14, 2025, Pat Bethel was honored for her numerous contributions to the Centerville Community. She recently received the James T. Reppert Community Spirit Award at the American Festival Scholarship Dinner. This prestigious award acknowledges her achievements not only within the festival but also throughout the community.

Pat has made a generous donation that will facilitate the construction of a new gazebo at Benham's Grove, enhancing the beauty of the grounds. The CWCC attended the event to show support for Pat, who contributes significantly to both the Centerville Community and the CWCC.

Congratulations, Pat, on this well-deserved recognition and honor!

The Centerville Dispatch serves Centerville, Springboro, Washington, and Clearcreek Township

The Centerville Women’s Civic Club awarded $11,000 in grants to the Centerville Center at Sinclair Community College for scholarships and support for six area non-profits at its September luncheon meeting.

A $1,500 grant from the Lowry Family Foundation was given to Mason Moore, a Sinclair student studying mechanical engineering.
Thirty students from Centerville and Washington Township shared $7,500 in scholarship funds.
Americana, Artemis House, TJ’s House of Hope, SICSA, Hannah’s Treasure Chest, and Police Youth Program CSI, shared in the $2,000 distribution.

Over the past five years, Dr. Zachary Beck, Chief Development Officer at Sinclair Community College, said the Women’s Club members have provided scholarships amounting to $47,235 to 154 students from the community. They work throughout the year to raise money on several projects.

Madeline Iseli, Sinclair Community College’s Senior Vice President for Advancement and Regional Strategy, spoke at the meeting. The college, she said, is the second largest community college in Ohio.

Both Beck and Iseli expressed gratitude to the members of the club from the students.

The club’s purpose is to encourage and promote civic betterment in the community. Community awareness is its goal.

Members meet for lunch once a month and speakers provide community updates. Currently the club has 113 members. Interested in joining the club? Contact JoAnne Rau at joannerau23@gmail.com.
