On Friday evening, December 7, 2012, Chicago District President, Mary Therese Tylus, Chicago District Financial Secretary, Jarmila Hlubocky and S295 Auditor, Fay Hlubocky attended the International Tree and Holiday Exhibit hosted by the Cook County, Illinois Treasurer, Maria Pappas.
The exhibit displayed 87 miniature Christmas Trees decorated by various ethnic organizations throughout Chicago that represented countries from around the world. The Slovak National Alliance decorated and sponsored the Slovak Christmas tree for this year’s exhibit. Ms. Pappas played the electronic keyboard and engaged all the attendees in singing Christmas carols in French, German, and English. A local Polish dance troupe entertained the guests with their traditional Polish dances. A good time was had by all in attendance!
