The 2009 Sledz took place at the La Villa in Chicago, Illinois, under the chairmanship of Mark Orwat and co-chairmanship of Charles Cwiakala.

Held the evening before Ash Wednesday on what is known as Fat Tuesday, the dinner offered a selection of three different entrees, including fish, chicken and veal. And, of course, there were plenty of pączki.

The "pageant," complete with appropriate costumes was as much fun as ever and the crowd enjoyed the crowning of our new St. Joseph, Charles Cwiakala, who will act as chaplain for the year.

Contemporary and polka music was provided by Dan Mateja & the Downtown Sound.
