The 54th annual reunion of Joseph and Anna Dostal met on August 5, 2018, at the Eagles Hall in Tama and was hosted by Becky Faircloth and Alan Dostal.

There were 72 people in attendance coming from Texas, Indiana, Idaho, Oregon, South Dakota, Georgia, Minnesota, Pennsylvania as well as all over Iowa.

Many attendees purchased reunion T-shirts that had a special saying about family on them.

Pot luck was enjoyed by all with an abundance of kolache for desert.

A short meeting was held after lunch with Nancy Dostal volunteering to take over the historian position that Lillian Dostal has always held but at 96 feels it is time for new blood and Becky Faircloth volunteered to host the reunion again next year which will be held on August 4, 2019 at the Eagles Hall.

Many in attendance brought craft or food items to be used as the prizes for the Bingo that was played and enjoyed for the entertainment in the afternoon.

A special wooden plaque was designed by Nora Faircloth with the same saying about family on it for the adult door prize and was won by Jason Faircloth and a candy bouquet was the child’s door prize which was won by Vador Towley.
