The Czech Slovak American Club of Tucson began to meet for the first time in 1954 and was incorporated as a non profit organization in 1955. The Club welcomes persons of Czech, Moravian or Slovakian descent, their friends, families, as well as others who enjoy the social, cultural and educational activities of the organization. The Club is based in Tucson, Arizona, however, participants are welcome from all communities.
The purpose of the Club is to promote our culture and keep informed of what is happening in our homeland. Membership dues are $30 per year per person, $20 for students, $20 for children 6 to 12, free for children under 6, and $20 for out-of-state members, and payable in January to the Treasurer.

The Club meets for a Social gathering once a month on the second Sunday, from September through May. Meetings are held at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 1330 S.
