November 9, 2008
Dear friends,
I would like to welcome all members both old and new to the Croatian Parish Folklore Group Marjan.
Now that we have confirmed our groups for the season, we can begin planning for the year ahead. Unfortunately,
it has taken longer than usual but we now know through your registrations who has made a commitment to this group.
For all our new members and parents to the group, I extend a warm welcome, and for those who have not registered for this year,
best wishes in your future endeavors. It is now well into November, and unfortunately, agreed upon dates and time lines have gone
and past to no avail. As a result, there will be no adult dance group. Those who have Marjan items in their possession are
kindly asked to return all nosnje and tamburice to St. Anne’s Elementary School this upcoming Thursday between 6:30 and 7:30.
This year we have a number of events planned, starting off with the church banquet Saturday November 15th.
A calendar with our upcoming events is being drafted and will be sent out to the membership upon its completion.
Non profit organizations such as HZFG Marjan can only be sustained with volunteerism and hard work by all. If there are any
members or parents who would like to be more directly involved in the group, there will be a number of new committees being
formed in the near future. Stay tuned.
I would also like to extend an invitation to all friends, family and grandparents of
Marjan members who would like to be more involved in their Croatian community, to contact myself or any of the Odbor. All are
welcomed both young and old.
Should you ever have any issues or concerns, the Odbor and I are available by email or telephone.
Thank you,
Marin Magdic
President HZFG Marjan

- Thank you to those who have already returned their nošnje! However, we are still missing a number of them, tambure included, that we would like to locate so that we know what we have in our inventory.
These items are quite expensive and it would greatly help the group financially to know just how much of what we have.
So please, if you still have one hidden away in the closet (nošnja or tambura) please bring it to St. Anne School this Thursday (October 30th).
If this is not possible, please inform us by e-mail that you have one and the odbor will arrange to have it picked up.
If we all work together, this group will continue to flourish and most importantly, we continue with the maintenance and preservation of the Croatian culture - a tradition our parents started a long time ago.
October 22, 2008
- We are trying to do an inventory of our nošnje and tamburice. Any old members that may still have them, please let us know through e-mail
or if possible please drop it off during practice at St. Anne School on Thursdays between 6:30pm and 7:30pm.
- Parents of junior kolo members: If your child has outgrown their nošnja for this year, please bring it to practice this Thursday and we will try to get you another one to the best of our ability.
