Dear PAC-MI members and Friends of Polonia!

We are happy to invite you to a special wreath laying ceremony to take place next Saturday, October 7, 2023, at 3:00pm at the statue of Mikołaj Kopernik, Nicholas Copernicus, world famous genius and astronomer, the Father of Modern Astronomy. The ceremony will mark and celebrate this year’s 550th anniversary of Copernicus’ birth.

The statue is located on the grounds of the Detroit Main Library, at Woodward and W. Kirby. Kopernik’s statue was dedicated and placed there in 1973, to mark the 500th anniversary of his birth in 1473.

A photograph is here attached along with our invitation.

Please join us to remember and to honor this remarkable son of Poland. Spread the word and invite friends and family to come October 7, 2023.

Serdecznie zapraszamy Polonię na spotkanie i złożenie wieńca przy pomniku naszego wielkiego syna Polski, Mikołaja Kopernika, w tym roku Kopernikowskim, uznając 550 lat od jego urodzenia!

POLISH DAY PARADE INVITATION!

August 25, 2023 by

Greetings PAC-MI Members and Polonia Friends!

On behalf of the Polish American Congress-Michigan and the Polish Day Parade Committee, I invite everyone to join us at the parade this Saturday in Warren. The parade’s assembly will take place at the Cousino High School parking lot at 3:00 and the parade starts at 4:10pm.

This year’s new parade route begins at 13 Mile Rd. and Hoover, continues onto Common Rd (which is 12 1/2 Mile and will be closed to traffic during the parade, starting at 3:00pm). The Parade will culminate at the Warren Civic Center grounds, where the Warren Birthday Bash is taking place. The Civic Center stage will serve as the reviewing stand featuring the Parade Committee Chairman, Hon. John Chmura, and other dignitaries, along with this year’s Parade Grand Marshal, Vinnie Dombroski, band leader of Sponge. See map and more info on parade website: www.polishdayparade.com.

We invite all PAC members and friends of Polonia to march with us behind the parade banner or ride in the decorated 12 passenger van (if marching does not suit you). We want everyone to get into the Polish Day Parade spirit which celebrates our Polish pride and heritage. You will be impressed by the newly built float (artistic creation of the Parade Company) made especially for this year’s occasion.

It promises to be a fun event!

Kindly let me know by email, text, or phone (313-663-6046) if you plan to join us and if you will be marching or riding in the van (12-person limit). This year bleachers will be provided at the beginning of the parade route on Common Rd. for all who wish to view it and cheer us on from there. Bring a friend and family if you wish-all are welcome.

I look forward to seeing all of you this Saturday!

DO ZOBACZENIA!

Ann Bankowski, President
