Remember to RSVP for Anniversary Dinner Party
How many of you recognize yourself in this 2011 photo of our Anniversary Dinner Party held at the "Farmers Kitchen" in Atlantic, Iowa? That was a good time with good food ~ especially their pies!! Yummeeeee!!
Our upcoming Anniversary Dinner Party will be Monday, July 6th, 2015 at the "Buck Snort" restaurant located at 310 Dr. Van Zee Road in Oakland, Iowa. We plan to meet around 11:15 a.m. so as to be able to order around 11:30. I have put a copy of their menu in the "Events" link so that you can look at it ahead of time.
After the meal, you are invited to join BVGS for a tour at the Oakland Museum. It has been quite a while since we have been there as a group. You will see lots of changes.
Remember to RSVP to Phyllis at phyllis_brandes@yahoo.com (underscore between phyllis and brandes). Spouses and guests are welcome to join us!!

Colleen, I have posted an ad in reference to the Orphan Train that stopped in Oakland in 1904. It is under the tab "Blog/News." Let me know if that is what you were wanting to look for. Barb

Would there be an opportunity for me to visit the genie room to search for information about an orphan train stop in Oakland? Thank you!
