Diane reported that three men and four women from our post attended the Tama County potluck, flag disposal service and meeting on June 25 at the Elberon post home. It was reported that 98 high school children attended Government Day in Toledo. The speaker talked about human trafficking. Tama County IVH picnic was August 3. Diane, Linda, and Sue helped from our unit. We furnished 2 pies and a roaster of home grown sweet corn. Ran out of pies due to cutting into six pieces instead of eight. There was a mix-up in serving the meatballs. Served 111 residents. Will need to discuss the picnic with IVH on how to serve our food that we furnish next year.

Diane showed us the framed pictures of the brick with our name on it at the National Headquarters of ALA in Indianapolis. Will be hanging the picture up in the hall. Diane reported that the Auxiliary marker for Mary Caslavka is missing at the St Vaclav cemetery. Our unit will replace it.
