KOLO SRPSKIH SESTARA (KCC)
Our Kolo, Sveta Petka was organized early in 1932. Bertha Mamula and her mother-in-law, Milica Mamula with the additional help of Julia Lackovich canvassed the parish and urged all the women to join. This first meeting was held in the Serbian Hall on Hopewell Avenue. Elected to the first Board was the following: Bertha Mamula, president; Kata Crevar, vice-president; Julia Lackovich, secretary; Marija Gak, treasurer and Julia Trkulja, financial secretary.
The original Kolo consisting of 60 members resolved to help the church morally and financially. These nearly 100 years can attest that these Sisters and their successors have, indeed, fulfilled their resolve.
Our Kolo members work side by side with the men of the parish in any fund raisers or church manifestations. They contribute thousands of dollars to the church, its furnishings, the center, the parish house and the Chapel and cemetery fence project.
The current group’s main fundraising efforts include BaBa’s Pantry and Noodle-making. Not only do they provide delicious food, but they continue baking and making and teaching these traditional Serbian delicacies.
Our Kolo has been dedicated to our church for almost a century. With the foundation presented to us by our pioneers we hope to continue this dedication for many, many more generations.
