1994 – The
14th Souhrada Family Reunion
Saturday, August 13th, Cedar River Family Restaurant, Tipton, Iowa
Sunday, August 14th, Dave and Janel Stephens Home (Brunch)
Tipton Hawkeye Bank (Pot Luck Dinner)
Hosted by Dave and
Janel Stephens
The Souhrada family gathered
in Tipton, Iowa for their 14th annual reunion on August 13th and 14th.
Eighteen members started the celebration Saturday evening with dinner at the
Cedar River Restaurant In Tipton, Iowa. Sunday morning Dave and Janel
Souhrada Stephens welcomed us into their home for brunch and willingly
allowed us to tour their lovely home that is surrounded by JaneI’s beautiful
flower gardens.
For our noon potluck meal 74 family members met at the Hawkeye Bank. In
Tipton. This was followed by a full of fun time that was sparked by our
auctioneers, Dave Stevens and Linda Souhrada and Viola Noska who served as
bookkeeper. Members brought the items that were auctioned and the money
collected helped pay expenses of the reunion. A drawing for prizes also added
to the excitement of the day. At the close of the reunion Dave and Janel
again graciously opened their home for all who didn’t have to hurry away.
This year's reunion became a special celebration because members of our
newfound Vanicek family from the Czech Republic were here to celebrate with
us. They are Vaclav, Rodka, Ronda and Thomas Vanicek all cousins of Anton and
John Vanicek and Velma Vanicek Flynn. Viola and LaVonne Noska lived with this
Vanicek family last year in the Czech Republic while they were there as
volunteers to teach English to the Czech students. Another special guest was
Carol Novotny Coburn from Chaska, Minnesota who recently returned from the
Czech Republic after teaching English in the school there. Vaclav and Rodka
Vanicek are in this country to set up an exchange program for high school
students. They, along with Anton Vanicek were also recruiting teachers to
teach in their country.
