Starting off the New Year

Witam,

Last Friday was particularly productive. Our members arrived on time and worked tirelessly as we brought ALL of the costumes down from the second floor closet to the main hall. We designated a table for each region and a person was assigned to assess the situation for that set of costumes. Not an easy task. But it did allow us to take full inventory of the costumes so we can now determine what is missing and start addressing that issue. The good news is that we now know what we have. The bad news is that we know what kind of effort is needed to complete some of the sets. Thanks to all that helped out. See photo.

This Friday we will hold the first 2010 PKM meeting. As it stands currently, we will discuss the results of the costume inventory and how to proceed from there (make / buy missing parts), as well as scheduling dance practices for the coming months and social activities. Please feel free to send me any items you would like to add to the agenda. After rhe meeting we will hold an abbreviated dance practice.

The PKM web site is going through some final revisions but is already very much up and running! Check out www.pkmdancers.com to see how it looks. Many thanks to Stephano for working with the web designer to get the web site organized and looking in a way that represents PKM well. Please continue to send me any old photos that you dig up. We will continually add to the Photo Archive as new items are received.

Friday is your last opportunity to bring your contribution to the donation for the orphanage in Poland. Please consider bringing something to add to the package. Thanks in advance for your generosity.

- twin size sheets
- towels (not too big)
- kids bathrobes, kids to teens

Sister also requested treasure box type of items, so when it's the kids' birthdays she has something to give them. This could be small items for boys and girls, like purses, watches, toy cars, bracelets, necklaces, etc.
