Chicago Society Album

Chicago Society members, who call each other "Brother" a sign of their fraternalism, volunteered to manage and operate the bars at the Taste of Polonia festival. Naturally, they were not adverse to mixing business and pleasure.

Members of the Chicago Society regularly participate in Polonian events in and around Chicago, such as the Taste of Polonia, sponsored by the Copernicus Foundation.

The Chicago Society membership, often joined by wives, find fun and satisfaction in assisting philanthropic causes. Businessmen and professionals shed suit and tie for a good cause.

Donald Gutowski, a Chicago Society member and Chairman of the Copernicus Foundation, shows Secretary Cheney, Republican candidate for U. S. Vice President, around the Taste of Polonia.

Tipper Gore, wife of presidential candidate Al Gore, meets with Marian Skwaski, Chicago Society member and Senior Products Manager for Lucent Technologies, Inc., at Taste of Polonia.

All work and no play would make a Chicago Society member a dull guy. Rocky Polit, Aide to Congressman Luis Gutierrez, and T. Ron Jasinski-Herbert, Director of Public Relations for the Polish National Alliance, enjoy the 70th birthday celebration of Li'l Wally, the Polka King.

Frank Spula, National Secretary of the Polish National Alliance (PNA), recently addressed a meeting of the Chicago Society, explaining the benefits of PNA insurance, both to the owner and to Polonia in general.

The Chicago Society Foundation is a major sponsor of a special exhibit about Polish astronomers that will run at Chicago's Adler Planetarium through January 10, 2001, and then tour the nation. Members of the Society attended the exhibit's opening reception.
