2023
WEEKEND AT KONOPIŠTĚ
From August 4th to 6th, 2023, five members of our club together with the ladies of the INNERVILLE club from Třebíč spent a beautiful weekend at the Konopiště castle. Part of the program, prepared by our member Elsa Z,. already on Friday included a visit of the 17th Century fashion exhibition in the Summer gazebo at the castle. We enjoyed the famous castle and the park during Saturday. A surprise for us was the presence of the well-known dancer Jan Onder, who introduced us to SALSA dancing. The evening ended with a festive dinner for all participants.
We enjoyed our stay at the BENICA hotel, built according to the design of architect Orlin Ilinčev, the husband of our member Zuzana.
HOLIDAY MEETING
We wanted to meet in July as well, so whoever was in Prague at the moment took advantage of the invitation to Kobka No. 9 on Prague's Smíchov embankment, which, in addition to other dungeons, serves as a gallery and a place to relax. There were a lot of people here in the late afternoon to enjoy the shade in the hot Prague July summer. On the pontoons of many restaurants and cafes, it was possible to enjoy a variety of cold drinks, cocktails and a seasonal menu offer. In a friendly debate around the table, we planned further club events and welcoming new Soroptimist members. It was very nice...
MILAN
On days 4th-9th on May 2023, 7 members of the club went on a trip to Milan. We planned a tour of the city, the most famous sights, but also a trip to Bergamo, Lake Como and also a meeting with the club Soroptimist Milano Fondatore. The meeting with the club was very pleasant, the club prepared leaflets with the program, a guided tour of the Poldi Pezzoldi Museum and then a cocktail at the Grand Hotel et de Milan, plus a preview of the room where the composer Giuseppe Verdi lived for the last 27 years. We gave gifts and received beautiful colorful brooches (artwork with a Soroptimist coin). The president introduced the club, outlined the activities - for these two years, they have a "getting to know yourself" program in particular.
