The Bethlehem chapters contribute their rich heritage of cultural Identity and their ardent partiotism to brighten the entire tapestry that comprises our Nation. Tibor T. KovaIovsky. supreme secretary of the Slovak Catholic Sokol. spoke the truth well when he lauded assembly 78 and wreath 32 as "one of the leading assemblies of Sokols." I have personally experienced the strength of tradition. culture. and familycentered community life which makes Slovak contributions so important to our Lehigh Valley and to America. Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty gives us an opportunity to appreciate the history of Slovak immigration. the role of the Catholic Sokols in America and the significant Slovak impact on Bethlehem and Lehigh Valley life.
