CHICAGO SOCIETY
of the Polish National Alliance

One of the Most Progressive Polish American Organizations in the United States

 

MEETING OF MARCH, 2008

The March Meeting will feature a lecture by Bogdan Pukszta, leader of the Polish American Chamber of Commerce (PACC), a not-for-profit organization incorporated in the State of Illinois. He was assisted by the the Chamber's Vice President. As a voice of Polish American businessmen and women, the PACC is dedicated to serving the best interests of its members through education on current trends and facilitating commercial contacts. Its goals are similar to those of the Chicago Society itself.

Scholarship grants were presented by new Scholarship Committee chairman Robert Groszek on behalf of Kenneth Gill, chairman for 2007. One of the recipients was studying in Poland and another was out-of-state, so their awards were received by their fathers, Marian Skwaski and Wojtek Putz. Nicholas Poplawski, studying at Georgetown in Washington, D.C., was present to personally accept his scholarship.

The site of the March meeting was Lone Tree Manor in Niles, Illinois, where the membership enjoyed a family style dinner.
