At one time, Bluffton had several women's "clubs." One was Alpha Gamma. Here's a photo from a Lima News clipping showing members of the club while attending a dram at Amil Tellers Theater, Lima.
We aren't aware of the year this photo was taken but, based upon the women in the photo, it was prior to 1963.
Names of the women (by their husband's names) are in the clipping. Jayne McGarrity provided the Icon with this clipping.
This plate is wide open, as far we can can determine. You'll find it in the Ada King-Horn Center parking area. It's on a black Dodge mini-van with a Shawnee Indians sticker on the back window.
