Sokol Minnesota

Sokol Minnesota We are a social, cultural, educational and gymnastic organization. The historic Česko-Slovenský Podporující Spolek (C.S.P.S.)

Founded in 1882 Czech and Slovak Sokol Minnesota is affiliated with American Sokol, which grew out of an international movement founded in 1862 by Dr. Miroslav Tyrs. Hall at 383 Michigan Street in Saint Paul has been our home since its construction in 1887, and the focal point for our activities in Saint Paul. It was declared a National and State Historic Site in 1977, placed on the National Regis

ter of Historic Sites, and is the longest serving Czech-Slovak cultural center in the United States, as well as oldest theater and national hall in Minnesota. Czech & Slovak Sokol Minnesota welcomes all who share an interest in history, culture, gymnastics and good fellowship. You need not be Czech or Slovak to be a member. Hours and prices vary by event or program. Run entirely by volunteers, the C.S.P.S. Hall has no staff, nor is the building open on a regular schedule. Please call 651-290-0542 to use the hall.

Festival of Nations is back! Now under a new name, International Festival of Minnesota https://www.ifestmn.org

This is a great volunteering opportunity, sign up if you’re interested here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0448ADAC2BA0F58-62665824-international #/

The Festival will take place April 10th and 11th at the St. Paul RiverCentre. This has been the all-time favorite event of many Sokol members, and it was sorely missed during its 5-year hiatus. The cafe booth needs lots of volunteers! Sign up with your kids (for fun and volunteer hours toward Sokol grants) and friends. Folk dress is encouraged, so if anyone has a kroj to wear, that’d be perfect. We will have some that people can use if they contact us. Back workers can wear aprons and hats we provide. Volunteers get a free entrance ticket and the shifts are short so you can also enjoy hours at the festival.

On the signup link page 2 (click Save and Continue button on the bottom of page 1) there is a mandatory Comments box. Write:

· If you need a ticket

· If you will be wearing your folk costume

· An address where we should send your ticket.

· If you can work the credit card Square machine

With questions, use the Contacts box on page 1, or contact [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).

Please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up. Thank you!
