You hear about some film festival almost on every corner nowadays. But you don’t hear about an actual CZECH festival every day! And on top of everything else it is the FIRST Czech Film festival! The First Annual Czech Film Festival will tour major cities throughout the United States including New York, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Chicago, Portland, Washington, and Seattle. I hope you can make it to at least one of the showings and hey, even if the movie ends up to be not so good, at least you can say you went to the historically FIRST Czech Film Festival 
.
Here are the details (click here).
CZ: Sami vite, ze neni tezke natrefit na jakysi filmovy festival; roste jich vsude jako hub po desti a neni zaruka, ze jsou kvalitni. Ovsem jestlize vam reknu, ze se v blizke budoucnosti muzete tesit na PRVNI CESKY filmovy festival, tak to je jine kaficko. Tento Film Fest bude tourovat po celych Spojenych Statech a to v hlavnich mestech jako je New York, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Chicago, Portland, Washinton a Seattle. Doufam, ze si najdete cas alespon jedno z techto mest navstivit a i kdyz naaaaahodou ten film nebude stat za moc, alespon se jako starouskove muzete vytahovat, ze jste byli na PRVNIM ceskem filmovem festivalu .

Every 2 years the American government puts out a student contest called the Solar Decathlon in which the contestants compete in designing a self-sufficient solar house. The Czech team placed itself among the 20 finalists for the first time in history. They call their design The Air House, which combines 2 main elements: a wooden box and a light membrane. The wooden box contains all of the technology needed to run a household; it’s also very compact and inexpensive. [click to continue…]

Hi,
there is a big chance that a similar Czech school will spring up in the San Francisco area, as it is planned for the Southern California region. And once again, those who are interested in such school, please leave your name and what part of Northern California you live at in the comment area. So far the plan is that there might be 2 locations, one in the San Francisco area and the other one int San Jose area.
Also, there is a need for the Czech language teacher, so if you have a degree in teaching and would be able to participate, let me know in the comment area as well.
PS: The newest info about this school can be found here:

CZ: Je tu velka pravdepodobnost, ze stejna Skola bez hranic vznikne take v severni Kaliforni (San Jose a/nebo San Francisko area). Tudiz jestli v tomto okoli zijete, zapiste se do komentu jako zajemce, tedy zanechte jmeno a kde presne bydlite.
Hleda se ale take jeste pani ucitelka, tedy jestli mate pedagogickou zkusenost (a titul0) a o neco takoveho zajem, napiste to do komentu.

This is a VERY EXCITING news for all of the Czech moms living in the Southern California area. I happened to have a meeting with Michal Sedlacek who is the Consul General of the Consulate General of the Czech Republic in Los Angeles. Among other things we also talked about a possible new Czech school for Czech children which would be located probably in Los Angeles (possibly also San Diego, depending on how many people in what area are interested). The school would run under the “School without borders” program, which is funded by the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
It all sounds wonderful, but the most important thing right now is to get as many Czech moms on the list as possible, so we can make this happen. I already have about 15 contacts but we need more than that. So, please, if you live in Southern California and are interested, leave your name and location (LA or San Diego?) in the comment area. You don’t need to leave your email address since it is already a requirement for leaving a comment, so I will be able to see it (but no one else will).
Also, if you know of anyone else who may be interested in this, forward him this article. Thank you!
CZ: Mam pro vas opravdu VYBORNOU NOVINKU! Nedavno jsem se sesla s panem konzulem Sedlackem a mimo jinych veci jsme diskutovali take moznost vzniku nove ceske skoly v jizni Kalifornii. Patrila by pod program zvany “Skola bez hranic”, ktery je dotovany ministerstvem zahranici. Skola by byla situovana pravdepodobne v okoli Los Angeles (mozna i San Diega), ale vsechno zalezi na mnozstvi zajemcu a kde bydli.
Tudiz vas prosim, jestlize mate o neco takoveho zajem, zanechte v komentech sve jmeno a a kde bydlite (LA area nebo San Diego area?) Email tam nemusite psat, protoze uz vyplnujete emailovou kolonku jednou v dobe, kdy onen koment pisete).
Jestlize vite o nekom jinem, kdo by se chtel se svymi detmi neceho takoveho zucastnit, preposlete mu teno clanek. Dekuji!

At one time up to a one third of residents identified themselves as Czech. For many, many years the store signs as well as street signs were written in English and in Czech. But now the Czech community struggles to survive. Which American town am I talking about? [click to continue…]

Just a couple of days ago San Diego was having a Czech-Slovak festival which turned out to be so much fun that it actually appeared in the Slovak news!
CZ: V San Diegu se konal Cesko-Slovensky festival a bylo tam tak rusno, ze se to dostalo i do samotnych slovenskych zprav!
