TCGS to host Jan. 29 “Launching to New Horizons in 2022 and Beyond”

The Texas Czech Genealogical Society (TCGS) invites you to join in at its “Launching to New Horizons in 2022 and Beyond” event. Each year in January, TCGS begins the new year by hosting its annual membership meeting. This year, as in past years, the event will be held on Saturday, January 29, 2022, at Caldwell Civic Center, 103 Presidential Corridor (Highway 21) in Caldwell, Texas.

You are invited to join us for an exciting day of learning a number of ways Czechs journeyed, beginning in the 1800s, from our Fatherland to Texas. Presentations by Leo Baca (Saved by An Angel), Richard Lesikar (By Land by Sea - Texas the Czech Dream), Patrick Janis (From Moravia to the Moon, by Way of Texas), and Luba Ruzicka (From Socialism to American Freedom) will bring a clear picture of strength, faith, dreams, and determination which will clearly give you extra pride in your Czech heritage.

The event begins at 9 a.m. (doors open at 8 a.m.) with morning refreshments of kolaches, coffee, and juice. Lunch will include roast beef with gravy, smashed potatoes, buttered corn, green beans, rolls, tea, and cake for dessert. As the day’s program draws to a close, each attendee will have received the enjoyment of Czech fellowship, as well as learning about valuable Czech strength as dreams became reality.

With the virus still impacting our lives, as many safety precautions as possible will be in place. We encourage those attending to have been fully vaccinated, with facial masks, optional, but encouraged.

Registration for the entire day is currently being accepted. Early bird registration (postmarked on or before Wednesday, January 12) is $45 for TCGS members and $50 for nonmembers. Registration (postmarked from January 13 to January 19) is $50 for TCGS members and $55 for nonmembers. Registration at the door is $60 for both TCGS members and nonmembers.

Register by sending your name, address, email address, phone number, and check, payable to TCGS, to Susan Crutchfield, 507 West Street, Sealy, Texas 77474. For further information, Susan can be reached by email at scrutch3@att.net.

You can also register and pay with a credit card by visiting this website: https://txczgs.square.site/

Note: If we deem it necessary to cancel the event because of the spread of the virus, all registration fees received will be refunded.

We invite you to join us as we greet you at the door of the Caldwell Civic Center on Saturday, January 29 with New Year hopes, exciting anticipations, and our goals of “Launching to New Horizons in 2022 and Beyond.” Until then, we wish each of you a happy, healthy and blessed New Year.
