Lavaca County Czech Heritage Society meets

Helen and Mike Technik explained the process of canning pickles at the July 10th Lavaca County Czech Heritage Society meeting.  The couple also presented this program at the June 25th Texas Czech Heritage Culture Center Family Day in La Grange.  Helen and Mike offered their spacious party room for the LCCHS July 10th meeting.  President James Steffek informed the group about upcoming activities for the local society that included hosting the Queen’s Pageant at the state meeting in July, 2023.  Future meeting dates were announced and suggestions for activities were solicited. Harvey Matusek announced that Lauren Hanslik, graduate of Smithville ISD, has been awarded the academic scholarship from LCCHS.  Lauren plans to attend Blinn College in Bryan.  Members enjoyed sandwiches, appetizers, sweets and, of course, pickles for “svacina” after the business meeting. The next meeting, on October 9 at the Sacred Heart Family Center, will include a meal and fellowship in celebration of Czech Heritage Month.
