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.

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.
