Dear Members and Friends,
It is with sincere regret that we must announce the cancellation of our upcoming Polish Club Ethnic Dinner. Unfortunately, unforeseen circumstances have made it impossible for us to move forward with this event as planned.
We know how much our community looks forward to this tradition each year, and we share in your disappointment. Please know that our board of trustees and volunteers are already working on future opportunities to gather, celebrate, and share the rich culture and heritage that bring us together.
We truly appreciate your understanding and continued support of the Polish Club. Updates on upcoming events will be shared here on our website and through our regular communications.
Thank you for your patience and loyalty—we look forward to seeing you at our next gathering.
With gratitude,
The Polish Club Board of Trustees
