Chrastek, and long-time friend of Sokol Detroit, Jerry Robotka.
Applications for Membership: Sr. Rose Wiggle reported on her interview with prospective members, Brian
and Diane Hanna, and recommended them for membership. Also recommended for reinstatement was
Troy Oscar, husband of Sr. Amanda Jandasek. Sr. Maryann Fiordelis made a motion to accept them for
membership, Br. William O’Reilly seconded, and the Hannas and Mr. Oscar will be initiated at the June
meeting.
Bills and Correspondence: Newsletters received from Sokol Greater Cleveland, Sokol St. Louis, Sokol Syd-
ney, Sokol USA Times and the Czech Catholic Union.

with the BOI.
UPC: Br. Alex Novacek reported. There was no UPC meeting last month. The Camp is ready to open.
The weekly Saturday evening clubroom evenings will begin; Camp opening is this weekend, earlier this

new Camp picnic tables directly from the manufacturer.

val, July 16-17, 2016. Comp tickets and flyers are now available.

A trivia contest will be held at Sokol Camp on Saturday, June 25, hosted by Br. Brett Mlinek and Sr. Nancy

Unfinished Business: Br. O’Reilly reported on the final report of the Sokol Location Investigation Commit-
tee that was formed in September 2015 to evaluate the best location for Sokol Detroit’s main operations
going forward. The committee concluded that Sokol Detroit remain in its current Dearborn Heights loca-
tion for at least the next several years. This final report will be distributed to the Sokol Detroit membership.
Br. Novacek last month recommended that a long-term committee be formed, and Sr. Greene asked
that, if there is anyone who is interested in joining this committee, he or she contacts her. Br. O’Reilly
wanted to thank all of the members of the committee who worked on this project and appreciates very
much the time and effort involved.
New Business: Br. Carl and Sr. Fiordelis presented Sokol Detroit with a donation of a 150th Sokol USA Anni-
versary plaque.
Br. Novacek brought forth three motions for member approval: liquor licenses for three upcoming
events: #1 – Camp July 4 Picnic; #2 – Center Ethnic Festival, July 16-17; #3 – Camp Bottomroo concert,
September 17. Motions seconded by Br. Victor Hurych. No objections. Motions passed.
Br. Novacek asked what procedures are in place for determining whether new members have met their
probationary first-year requirements. Sr. Greene will send an email to those members who joined Sokol
Detroit during the preceding year reminding them of their responsibilities.
The next meeting will be held at Sokol Camp on Tuesday, June 7, 2016, at 7:00PM.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:43PM.
