The Twin Cities Slovenians group was formed in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul Minnesota, as Branch 109 of the Slovenian Union of America (“SUA”, formerly known as the “SWUA” or Slovenian Women’s Union of America).
The national SUA has approval from the IRS as a tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization, meaning that all donations to SUA and its branches are tax deductible. If you would like to support our local activities, we recommend an annual donation of $20 for individuals / $30 for families and completion of the annual donation form.
Registration begins September 1 for the next calendar year. Registrations prior to September 1 are for the current calendar year. Regardless of your registration timing – come to our monthly meetings so that we can get to know you!
There are two ways to register from the Registration link below:
(1) Fill in the PDF form and mail it with a check to our membership chair
(2) Create an account here with your registration information and online donation. Please consider adding $1 to help cover processing fees. Learn more here about additional account benefits.
We no longer have separate membership in national vs local SUA. Membership in the national SUA includes membership in the local branch and a subscription to the national Zarja magazine. We encourage you to join SUA (see slovenianunion.org) in addition to making a donation for Twin Cities Branch 109 local activities.
