As a non-profit organization we hold several functions every year to raise money so that we may continue to promote the Czech, Slovak and Moravian traditions of our ancestors. On this page you will see those functions sponsored by UMS along with scheduled performances which our singers or dance groups will be participating in.  You'll also see other events being held by similar organizations so that we can build a calendar of Czech, Slovak and Moravian functions that will hopefully create a stronger sense of community for all to enjoy. Please check in with this page on a regular basis for updated information on these events.
