2008 PRE-PARADE BRUNCH AND
POLISH CONSTITUTION  DAY PARADE

The 2008 Pre-Parade Brunch, sponsored annually by the Chicago Society, attracted a record number of guests. It was attended by numerous Polonia and civic leaders, as well as the Consul General of Poland in Chicago and Poland's Secretary of State. The invocation was delivered by the Most Rev. Thomas Paprocki, Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago.

Romuald E. Matuszczak has been the Chairman of this event for 30 years. He was assisted by his wife, Chris, Social Activities Director  Mark Hrycko and President T. Ron Jasinski-Herbert.

Complimentary Bloody Marys and Screwdrivers were provided by Sobieski Vodka under the supervision of Mark Orwat.

Under the chairmanship of Clubhouse Director Frank Czaja, the Chicago Society entered an attractive float in the parade featuring the music of Stas Bulanda & the Old School Review. It was preceded by members carrying our official banner.

Following the brunch and parade, a few indefatigable members attended a VIP Reception at the "Poland in he Park" festival.
