TCGS sets April 2 “Relaunching to New Horizons” event Each year in January, Texas Czech Genealogical Society (TCGS) begins the new year by hosting its annual membership meeting. This year, because of Covid, the event was moved to Saturday, April 2, 2022. It will be held at Caldwell Civic Center, 103 Presidential Corridor (Highway 21) in Caldwell, Texas. You are invited to join us for an exciting day of learning a number of ways Czechs journeyed, beginning in the 1800s, from our Fatherland to Texas. Presentations by Leo Baca (Saved by An Angel), Richard Lesikar (By Land by Sea - Texas the Czech Dream), Patrick Janis (From Moravia to the Moon, by Way of Texas), and Luba Ruzicka (From Socialism to American Freedom) will bring a clear picture of strength, faith, dreams, and determination which will clearly give you extra pride in your Czech heritage. The warm smile of the current Miss Czech-Slovak US Queen 2021-2022 will greet you and bring a brief presentation as well. Our silent auction table is always an area of interest. At this event, additional homemade baked goodies will also be available. Monies raised from the silent auction table will benefit our building fund. The event begins at 9 a.m. (doors open at 8 a.m.) with morning refreshments of kolaches, coffee, and juice. Lunch will include roast beef with gravy, smashed potatoes, buttered corn, green beans, rolls, tea, and cake for des-
sert. As the day’s program draws to a close, each attendee will have received the enjoyment of Czech fellowship, as well as learning about valuable Czech strength as dreams became reality. With the coronavirus still impacting our lives, as many safety precautions as possible will be in place. We encourage those attending to have been fully vaccinated with facial masks, optional, but encouraged. Registration for the entire day is currently being accepted. Registration at the door is $60 for all members and non-members. You can also register and pay by credit card by going to: https://txczgs.square.site/ We invite you to join us as we greet you with a Czech welcome at the door of the Caldwell Civic Center on April 2!

CEFT members get onboard for Deanville by Diane Sulak Wilson At its January 22, 2022, general membership meeting held at the SPJST Home Office in Temple, Texas, members of the Czech Educational Foundation of Texas (CEFT) heard from members of the Deanville Heritage Foundation about the upcoming April 30, 2022, dedication of the newly restored train depot which will serve as a museum to honor the several orphan train children who arrived there in the early 1900s. Linda Fulmer of East Texas, whose grandfather was a passenger on one of the several orphan trains, brought together Deanville representatives Tommy Ryan, Beverly Blinka, and Patsy Simek and made it possible for them to address CEFT members virtually and in person. Over the years, Linda has amassed a wealth of information about this important time in history which she shares in regular addresses to community and genealogy groups. Linda introduced Tommy Ryan, president of the Deanville Heritage Foundation, who attended in person. He gave
