President Eileen gave a report on Czech Days. The Beseda Hall was set up the same as last year which
worked out well again. We received 1606 dozen extra baked kolaches this year. We sold kolaches till
9:30 pm on Friday night and till the dance was over on Saturday night, having about 15 dozen that were
not sold. There were 40 dozen donated kolaches that were not taken out of the freezer and will be
used for bingo, along with 24 dozen that were thawed but not used so were refrozen. The crowd was
way down and the weather could have been a factor. We had plenty of food leftover: 21 pails of
pork, 3 pails of beef, 3 pails of tavern, 5 dozen dumplings, 16 pkgs of hamburger buns, 6 pkgs. hotdog
buns and 9 lbs. of margarine. There is pork and kolaches available for sale. A discussion was held on
how much of the profit from the meal lines is to be given to the Beseda Hall. No decision was made
and was tabled till the next meeting.
