News Briefs: Alumni Banquet This Saturday

  • DHS Alumni Banquet At Tabor This Saturday: This year's Dorchester High School Alumni Banquet will be held at Tabor Hall this Saturday at 6 p.m. Tabor Hall will open at 4 p.m. for early conversation. The new venue is due to the ongoing school renovation and expansion project. Members of the 20-year class -- the class of 1988 -- sent recently invitations to DHS alumni. If you did not receive an invitation or wish to make a late reservation, alumni are encouraged to call Lois Eret at (402) 946-3981. Other questions should be directed to Donnetta (Sand) Hoffman at (402) 946-2551.

  • Deadline For Garage Sale Listings Is May 28: As reported previously in the Times, Dorchester and Friend are teaming up to co-host a community garage sale day on Saturday, June 14. Event organizers remind us that the Friend Sentinel is running an advertising special -- and the Sentinel's advertising deadline is May 28. For $12, those holding garage sale hosts can get a classified ad of 20 words or less and your address posted on a map that will run in the Sentinel's June 11 issue. Readers may call Carol Olson at Colson@farmersco-operative.com or 946-3531, or Vicky Parks at 946-4691 with questions. Forms are available at the village office -- or can be faxed or e-mailed by Olson. Classes and organizations are also encouraged to host garage or sidewalk sales to raise money.
  • Dorchester Flag Retirement Will Be June 14: The Dorchester American Legion Post 264 will host a flag retirement ceremony on June 14. The Flag Day event will begin at 6 p.m. Guest speaker will be state Senator Russ Karpisek. All color guards, Auxilary units and Sons of the American Legion members are encouraged to attend. Those attending are urged to bring their unserviceable flags. For those who cannot attend, worn flags may be dropped off at the Farmers Co-op office in Dorchester. For questions or more information, call Larry Kaspar at (402) 946-6711 or Richard Kasl at (402) 946-7651.

  • Denker, Simmons Graduate From Doane College: Two Dorchester residents were among approximately 350 college graduates who were awarded undergraduate degrees last Sunday during Doane College’s annual commencement exercises. Katy Anne Simmons was awarded her bachelor of science, while Drew Denker received his bachelor of arts. Our hats off to both of our newest college graduates.

    Wow! That sign with the words "Tabor Hall" brings back lots of memories. It's been a long time since I've been to a polka dance. (Saline Center, Wilber Sokol Hall)

    Děkuji (Thank you in Czech.)

    We recommend simply selecting "Name/URL" under the "Choose An Identity" menu.

    Then type "Den Mother" -- or whatever tag you choose -- next to "Name." It's just that easy.

    No registration is necessary.
