Czech and Slovak Newsletter - August 2011

Submitted by Jan Tomka on Tue, 16/08/2011 - 12:07pm

Dear friend,

It has been a long winter, but now it is almost over and we can't wait for the days to get longer and the weather warmer. In the meantime, there is a number of community events on in September.

In this issue:

  • Father's Day Function
  • Working Bee at Sumava
  • BBQ, Picnic and Soccer
  • Celebrations in Honour of Saint Wenceslaus

Declare your Czech heritage

The upcoming Census of Population and Housing is a once in 5 years opportunity to help the community even if you are not an active member! Czechs have a history of non-conflicting migrants, easily assimilated into the majority population. To get the numbers right, however, it is important that we acknowledge our ancestry.

Declare your heritage

The Australian Census of Population and Housing takes place on Tuesday 9 August 2011.

Are you going to declare your heritage?

When we went to check out the hot springs the other day, we met two Slovaks and three Czechs there. It seems to be a popular spot among the countrymen and so we thought we could make it a place to spend a nice Saturday afternoon together.
