Who We Are
Sokol MN Board of Directors
Czech and Slovak Sokol Minnesota is a volunteer-run organization founded in 1882. Our dedicated board of directors is elected annually at general membership meetings each November.
With a full range of festivals, dinners, dances, etc. for all age groups, we strive to not only support our programming but also our historic C.S.P.S. Hall. These are accomplished through our committee structure, and we invite you to get to know us and help us achieve these goals.
Czech & Slovak Sokol Minnesota welcomes all who share an interest in history, culture, gymnastics and good fellowship. You need not be Czech or Slovak to be a member, or to participate in all our events.
