The La Grange Leo Club appreciates Mark Hermes and The Texas Czech Heritage Cultural Center (TCHCC) for sponsoring their September Leo Club meetings. Hermes explained the history of the TCHCC and its dedication to preserving and celebrating our communities and Czech heritage. It features exhibits on traditional Czech music, art, customs, and historical artifacts from Czech immigrants who settled in Texas. There is even a library where Czech family genealogy can be researched. The center hosts various events and festivals throughout the year, offering a vibrant look into Czech culture. It’s an educational and cultural hub where visitors can learn about the rich traditions and contributions of the Czech community in Texas.
The Leo Club was given a flag for serving when the Czech President came for a visit. Hermes also gave the students a short Czech language lesson. Dekuji!
