At the Saturday evening gathering, Janel Stephens welcomed all and began the introductions.  Anton Vanicek showed his informative video about our Czech roots, our homeland, our people, and the importance of family. Anton received an enthusiastic applause for his production.  Delicious wraps and snacks were served while family members caught up on events of the past year.  

After Sunday morning's coffee and kolaches, Anna Cooková presented a seminar in Czech language and culture.  Her seminar was both entertaining and informative!  Anna Cooková has lived in the Czech Republic and teaches Czech Language and Culture classes in the Chicago area and over Skype.  You can learn more about Anna's upcoming classes and contact her at http://accc.wbs.cz.  After lunch, Dave Souhrada conducted the auction of donated items from which the proceeds help defer the costs of our annual reunions.

Reminder: Jiří Souhrada is conducting the 8th Souhrada family reunion in the Czech Republic on September 13th and 14th.  For additional details, check out the reunion webpage at >>
