Beth Lechner
Director Habitat for Humanity East Central Ohio
Beth Lechner has served as the
Executive Director/CEO of
Habitat for Humanity East
Central Ohio for over a decade,
overseeing an organization that
has built nearly 500 homes, with
over 2,000 individuals in need of
decent affordable housing.
With Beth leading development
and operations, Habitat for Humanity East Central
Ohio has become a leader among U.S. Habitat for
Humanity ministries, having also been named the

In addition to her oversight of the Habitat

support Habitat’s homebuilding and renovating
efforts. Proceeds from these two stores have built
more than thirteen homes since 2005.

children.

Canton Chapter IMA member participates in annual
Canton Repository Celebrity Spelling Bee
He didn’t win the contest, but Canton Chapter IMA member, Emil Alecusan, went up against 15 other contestants in the annual Canton Repository
Celebrity Spelling Bee on September 6th.
Held at the Canton Palace Theatre, the event is a fundraiser that benefits the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank. According to a Canton Repository newspaper
article, the contestants raised $12,450 this year for the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank. 
The event started with common and easy-to-spell words for the contestants. However, Emil went out when he misspelled the second
word he was offered, “havarti,” which is a type of cheese. “I should have thought a little more,” said Alecusan, who is chief financial
officer for Brewster Cheese. “I should have taken a couple more seconds to think about it.” But it was not a bad night for Alecusan as
he raised the most money of all the 16 spelling bee contestants.
The Canton Repository went on to say that the one who might have been the star of the event was the “expert,” Snehal Choudhury, a
14-year-old Jackson High School freshman. Choudhury was summoned to center stage frequently to spell some of the more difficult
words as contestants called for her help. Choudhury represented Stark County in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Maryland earlier
this year.
CONGRATULATIONS, EMIL!!
