Russian Club of Jackson Hole

Russian Club of Jackson Hole The mission of RCJH, a special project of the Community Foundation, is to share Russian culture with the people of Teton County.

The formation of the Russian Club of Jackson Hole reflects the changing demographics of Teton County and the growing number of Russians and East Europeans who have moved here. Olga Needham, perhaps the original Russian in the area, is the inspiration for this club. Jade Walsh, a non-Russian with a passion for Russian culture, is a close friend of Olga. At Olga’s insistence, in the late 1990s, ther

e were celebrations with friends of various Russian holidays, including a rich banquet of foods, wines, vodkas and traditions. Realizing that Russian culture is under-appreciated and little understood in the US, particularly among a generation of Cold War Baby Boomers, the two friends decided to remedy that and began a series of Sunday Teas, at which various topics of Russian Culture were presented. Russians and non-Russians alike attended the teas, and gradually the formal creation of an organization began to take shape. In early 2008, the Russian Club of Jackson Hole became a Special Project Fund of the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole. This designation means that the Community foundation is the fiscal agent of the club and that all donations to the club are tax-deductible under their auspices. What began as a Sunday Tea has evolved into a series of formal lectures, a book club, language classes, and collaborations with other local non-profit groups.
