Journey to Grange-over-Sands
October 2024
Our current president Jana Šolcová together with Alice Červená visited the magical spa town in Cumbria, UK on the occasion of the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the foundation of the SI club in Grange over Sands, on 17.-21.10. 2024. They thus continued the long-standing tradition of our clubs. They have unforgettable experiences from the town, the surroundings and, above all, old contacts with club members. We look forward to further experiences together.
SI Milano Fondatore
October 2024
A big visit from the Italian SI club was an opportunity to get together for a welcome cocktail at the Olšanka Hotel and to visit the modern stage at the Jatka78 theater for the Up and Down performance. We believe that they liked the organized tour of Prague and that our mutual meetings will continue.
A walk through Průhonicky Park
October 12th
Following a winter walk in this park, which was founded in 1885 by Count A.E. Silva-Tarouca, we set out to admire the beauty of this amazing work of nature in autumn. Thanks to Mr. Burda's well-founded explanation during the entire walk, we gained a lot of knowledge and understood why this park with the castle belongs to the UNESCO monuments. The park with its area of 250 hectares invites for further visits, for example in the spring in the Botanical Garden, as we promised to ourselves at the end in the castle cafe (Zuzka, Jana Š., Hanka, Elvíra, JanaM).
Financial contribution for Bára
Our club member Lucie Mertová approached us with the possibility of donating to a medical stay for Bára Kyndlová, a young woman with many health disabilities. It was a public fundraiser from Z nesnázé 21 for dolphin therapy, which had already helped Bára a lot in the past in overcoming her health problems. The therapy is operated in Antalya, Turkey. Our quick approval to provide the amount of CZK 20,000 contributed to the possibility of a medical stay in October 2024.
Bára Kyndlová, the recipient of the contribution, came to the club meeting to personally thank for the donation. She described to us her life story and the health problems that have accompanied her since birth. She explained to us what the therapy consists of and what its effects are. We believe that the effects of dolphin therapy will help Bara overcome the difficulties and limitations related to her health condition.
Gender equality
We have accepted the invitation of our European headquarters to participate in the campaign for gender equality, and we are attaching pictures of our feet in different shoes to the symbolic date of March 8.
The new president of the club
In January 2024, the current president of the club, Alice Červená, handed over the leadership of our club for the next 2 years to Jana Šolcová. The festive mood at the annual meeting was added not only by the tasty menu, but also by the pleasant environment of the Olšanka Hotel.
