 Our association is investigating the possibility of planning a Youth Conference in the near future for our members ages 18-30. This gathering would give our younger members an exciting opportunity to share their views, ideas and suggestions for the continued growth and success of our association. We are asking for branch officers and members to respond with their views or opinions. If you are a member age 18-30 and would like to participate in an FCSLA Youth Conference, we would like to hear from you.

Right to Life Bus Trip
Our presence at the 39th Annual Right to Life March on January 23rd, 2012 in Washington, DC is extremely important. First Catholic Slovak Ladies Association and the First Catholic Slovak Union support the position of the Pro Life Movement.
The FCSLA and FCSU are once again offering free transportation from the FCSLA Home Office for this very important trip. For the past few years we have filled two buses for this march. Again this year, we will reserve two buses for the march. Our organizations are proud to encourage our members along with the many young students from area Catholic High Schools to participate. It is a very rewarding experience to actively participate and help to relay this very important message of supporting the Right to Life mission.
Will you join us? Please call Sue Ann at the FCSLA Home Office. Her phone number is 1-800-464-4642, EXT. 1051 or email her at sueann@fcsla.org for details or questions and to reserve your seat on the bus before January 16th, 2012.
If you would like to attend and are unable to join those leaving from the FCSLA Home Office, please look online for information and transportation from your area. There are many Prolife Groups that offer transportation. If you cannot find information please call or email Sue Ann for assistance.
