PKM Update September 10th, 2010

Kochani,

As many of you know, this past Sunday PKM performed a one hour show at the Polish Festival in Czestochowa. It was the culmination of a summer's worth of dance practices for many of us. We enhanced existing suites as well as debuted a new one, Stara Warszawa. Much praise is to be showered on our Artistic Director, Stephano, without whose tireless efforts our performance would not "shine". But also every person who was there on Sunday, contributed to our success. Many thanks to each of you. See photos. After the show, we stayed at the festival and enjoyed the foods, music and catching up with many PKM alumni that were in attendance.

Another aspect of the Czestochowa performance that added to the celebration was the introduction of the newest PKM t-shirts! If you have not seen them yet, I must warn you, they are way cool. We have limited quantities available so get yours soon! They cost $10 per shirt. See last photo.

This Friday's practice will be held in two parts. At 7:30PM we will collect costumes and watch the video from the Czestochowa performance. Many thanks in advance to Stephen and Dorothy Skorczynski for taping the show, MC'ing the performance and putting the show on DVD for us. We will start the preparations for this Sunday's performance at 9:30PM.

This Sunday PKM will perform at Little Servant Sisters' annual Country Fair. Although not as big as Czestochowa, its quite a bit of fun and we always have a good time there. Another tradition for that day is the BBQ at the Klimek residence right after the show. To facilitate the planning phase of the BBQ, I will circulate a menu sign up sheet on Friday so think ahead about what you would like to bring and lets talk on Friday:)

Now that September is upon us, its time for the 2010 Innauguration of this year's PKM Officers. On September 24 we will officially thank the previous administration and challenge the new one to lead PKM in improvements while keeping true to its heritage. A small reception will follow. The event will also serve as the official openning of the PKM Lounge in Polish Home.

Looking at the Calendar I want to point out two activities that were added. Both will be held at Polish Home. More details on both events coming up soon. Be sure to add them to your calendar as we need YOUR support to make these Polish Home activities a success!
