Summer Quiz II: A Quiz About Czechoslovakia
The second Dúbravka summer quiz turned to memories of Czechoslovakia. Residents of the Kaštieľ care home in Stupava joined us as well.
On 17 July we held the second Dúbravka summer quiz, this time about Czechoslovakia. We were delighted by the turnout and by how much everyone threw themselves into both the atmosphere and the questions.
We were very glad that many people came back a second time, and that residents of the Kaštieľ social care home in Stupava joined us too. Particular thanks to their carers, who came with them and made the outing possible.
