Libor was known to us all for enthusiastically organizing our summer camps. In the years 2000 - 2002 Libor helped to establish a children's program for our chapter. Libor's family needs your help.

Recreational Soccer - June 2008 - We will hold open, walk-in soccer games Sundays; weather permitting, on the fields of Spring Hill Recreation Center, near Tyson’s Corner. This is non-competitive, in that its primary purpose is only to “work up a thirst” for Pilsner Urquell, which is not very hard in the first place. Contact Br.
