Important Notice!
The Czech Slovak American Club of Tucson has come to a crossroad. We are at point where there has been a combination of weakening interest by members and potential members, a lack of people willing to step forward to serve in a leadership role, as well as poor attendance at the monthly Club Dinners/Meetings. Our paid membership has dropped to about 30 individuals which includes several paid-up life members. We have been operating without the positions of Vice-President and Secretary filled. The latest concern is that our long-time Treasurer, George Coffos, and his wife Jean who is also a member our Board of Directors (BOD), have decided to leave Tucson and will be moving to California in the near future.
The BOD has decided to move the Club into a much more informal state for the foreseeable future. After our December Holiday Party we will cease to have monthly get-togethers. We will retain and keep up our status as a non-profit Arizona Corporation and there will be a “Coordinator” named to serve as a focal point for any future Club activities which may include occasional get-togethers in connection with major holidays, and potential participation and support of ethnic celebrations such as the annual EMAT Fair and the Slavic Festival. In the future we also expect to maintain a list of those in our community that have Czech- Slovak interest and regularly communicate happenings of particular interest to the greater Czech-Slovak American community in the Tucson area, using email. The Club website would be maintained and serve as a source of information about all things Czech-Slovak related of significance to our Tucson community. We would no longer have membership dues, but rely on voluntary contributions and fund raisers to meet the cost of any future activities. This approach will still require some individuals to be personally involved in the planning and carrying out of any future Club activities. This site will present information as it is decided.
Dobrý den!

Dobrý den!
Česko-slovensko-americký klub v Tucsonu se poprvé sešel v roce 1954 a od roku 1955 funguje jako nezisková organizace. Rád uvítá osoby českého, moravského či slovenského původu, jejich přátele, rodiny i ostatní, kteří by se rádi účastnili sociálních, kulturních a vzdělávacích aktivit organizace. Klub sídli v Arizonském Tucsonu, vítání jsou však účastníci odkudkoli.

Kroj Guidelines (From the American Czech-Slovak Cultural Club - Miami, FL) The National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library (NCSML) has released a set of guidelines to help Czech & Slovak pageant contestants with the selection of a kroj that they will wear for their competition. The guidelines deal with kroj history, regional details, availability, recommendations, tips and more. While these guidelines are intended for contestants they will be interesting to many as they contain a great deal of unique and hard-to-find information about kroje. A link to a printable Acrobat version can be found at the end of the guidelines - 05/18/03 See the Kroj Guideleines
