Greetings!

Our new CCSV council is almost one month into exciting plans and activities. Folklore dance is in full swing (get it? dance, swing?) and language classes are humming along (get it? humming? - I’m on a roll today!).

We have ordered a new set of folklore costumes - this time from the Bizovac (Osijek-Baranja) region - for our folklore group “Zagreb” for the upcoming Edmonton festival in May. We are also researching grants for various initiatives to promote Croatian language, folklore, and culture. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
