Czech and Slovak Newsletter - November 2013

Dear friend,

The VodaFest Czech and Slovak Association Committee has been busy organising new events. The Halloween Party at the Heart of Europe was a success and we all had a lot of fun. We saw some great costumes on the night and we had a great trivia quiz, apple bobbing and fortune telling.
