Slovak Heritage Festival
The 31st Annual Slovak Heritage Festival was held at PNC Bank Arts Center
in Holmdel, NJ, on Sunday, September 28, 2008. Our member, Nina Holy, Branch
235 Secretary from W. Orange, NJ, was co-chairperson for the event. The day
was overcast and rain preceded the opening, but the sun did shine on the 5,000
plus festival attendees.
At the event our FCSLA display was attended by Nina's
family, her daughter Jane Konzelmann, and grandsons, Andrew and Mark. Also
offering to help was Anna Sosnicky, Secretary from Branch 234. Our Fraternal & Youth
Director, Sue Ann M. Seich attended the festival and manned the display, handing
out our FCSLA Brochures, gifts, and a new flyer which details who we are and
the many benefits FCSLA offers their members.
The day began with a Slovak Mass,
and was filled with religious, cultural and fraternal activities for all people
of Slovak descent to enjoy. Two of the young ladies on one of the photos are
part of a dance group, and attend school in Linden, NJ.
The Heritage Festival
is held the last Sunday in September. Mark your calendars for next year and
plan to attend.
