Dear CIBCA members and friends, St. Patrick’s Day Our national day is next Thursday – March 17th. Some of the Irish community in Prague are planning an informal drink in The Irish Times on Karlova 20, Prague 1, 6pm on March 17th. Please consider - there may be a few familiar faces there. For a full list of events at Prague s various Irish bars please visit the CIBCA blog post here. Ukrainian Support We are living through unprecedented times – the COVID pandemic restricted our movements for a couple of years and now we face a horrific war in Ukraine, a humanitarian crisis and we are all considering what we can do to help. 2,000,000+ people have fled Ukraine with 100,000+ already in the Czech Republic. Now is the time to band together and do what we can to help. Planned Fundraiser CIBCA already donated to each of the Ukrainian appeals of People in Need and Caritas and we are keen to do more. As many of you know the Ukrainian artist Mr. Alexander Onishenko has long supported CIBCA with donations of his paintings for charity auctions. Together with Alexander Onishenko and his daughter Alena, we are planning a fundraiser to support Ukrainian refugees. If any of you are interested to help organise or donate raffle or auction items please let Garret Byrne ([email protected]) know or any of us on the committee. Accommodation For those with available accommodation Hospitality Helps or AirBNB.org can match with refugees. If you are interested to take in people to your home register here with Uprchlici Vitejte.
