The Kalona Optimist will be serving its annual tenderloin meal starting at 4 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27, at the United Methodist Fellowship Hall.

This freewill offering meal features a huge tenderloin, coleslaw, potato salad, drink, cookies and ice cream. While it is not required, a nonperishable food item donation for the Kalona Food Pantry would be appreciated.

Chairman Carl Poe promises a fast line as there will be additional cookers to speed up the serving of the delicious tenderloins.

The Kalona and English township Republicans had a good caucus on Feb. 3. There was a unanimous vote to support Donald J. Trump for president and Joni Ernst for another six-year term as senator.

There were numerous people speaking to endorse President Trump.

Those attending also suggested several planks to be discussed at the County Convention to be held on March 14 at the county GOP headquarters in Washington.

This is a quiet time of the year for visitors to the Kalona Chamber of Commerce visitors center.

However, a number of new brochures have arrived from Iowa City-Coralville-North Liberty, the Amanas, Cedar Rapids, Ottumwa, Eastern Iowa Tourism, Burlington, Keokuk, Waterloo-Cedar Falls, Pella and Okoboji.

The chamber office has the latest maps for 2020 for Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio.
