Klokan Magazine


Our Current Issue
“Klokan” Newsletter: The Czech and Slovak community magazine was first issued in 1995. “Klokan” is Czech for kanagaroo.
The Community Newsletter KLOKAN was founded in 1995 and its characteristic name was given by the then club treasurer, Mr. Josef Netolicky.
Klokan is published once a month and informs about organized events, brings news from home or important information from consular offices, publishes interesting articles, entertainment and advertisements.
Since the beginning of 2011, Klokan has also had its full-color electronic version, and as “eKlokan” it reaches many more readers with the help of e-mail and web pages. Since June 2012, Klokan has expanded to include a separate 4-page appendix for children – Klokanek./Klokanček (or joey). The appendix is published alternately in Czech and Slovak.

From 1979 to 1991, the Citizens’ Association, or its member Mr. Stanislav Menšík and his family, published the information “CIRCULAR” in Czech and English. The Circular was therefore an information medium that preceded the current Klokan.
