June 28 – Annual Picnic 6:00PM

     Time once again for our annual TCHS picnic.  Meat, drinks, and service materials will be provided, and each family should bring their favorite picnic dish to share with the group.
The event is open to all members and guests.  This is a perfect time to socialize and enjoy a great evening of visiting with friends.

July 22 – Elizabeth Wilson-Agin

     Elizabeth Wilson-Agin , a 1994 graduate of Tonganoxie High School and a geophysicist based in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, will be our guest speaker for July.  Elizabeth uses her expertise to locate lost burial sites for cemeteries and construction survey teams, and has identified hundreds of unmarked graves using a combination of ground-penetrating radar (GPR), GPS, geospatial software, and a very sharply trained eye.  She has been featured on the Yahoo home page regarding her research, and has spoken before audiences across the country about her fascinating work.
