Member Meeting
On January 19th, 2010, PACT conducted its first annual member’s meeting. It was a productive night. The board members were able to meet some of PACT’s most important assets; its members! On the agenda for the evening was a review of last year’s accomplishments against it’s goals, which were to introduce PACT to the Polish community and to build on its membership list. PACT board members feel that those goals have been met and are very enthusiastic about the response of the community and it’s acceptance of “the new kid on the block”. To everyone who has joined PACT or attended any of our events, we are truly grateful.
We also discussed the future of PACT and how we would like to move forward. Of course, we will always be working to sign new members into our family. We will also continue to provide events that our members will enjoy. In addition to continuing last year’s goals, we will focus on these goals in 2010:
• Provide scholarships to students of Polish descent
• Build a Polish Community Center.
We must raise funds to realize these goals, so this year we will concentrate on a few fundraisers. The first event is Fun Day on Sunday scheduled for February 14th at Olivet Lutheran Church. Another is Reverse Raffle/Las Vegas Day on April 11, 2010, at Blessed Sacrament Parish Hall. In June, PACT’s second annual Golf Tournament will be held at Legacy Golf Course in Ottawa Lake, Michigan. Member involvement is essential for these fundraisers to be successful so we are hopeful that PACT members will volunteer to help at these events. More information on these events will be available as their dates approach.
The member meeting was also an opportunity to vote for future board members. The following members were elected to the board for the coming year: Stan Machosky, Jack Sparagowski, Mike Janiszewski, John Klocinski, Tim Paluszak, Rozanne Nitschke, Bill Peneff and Sherry Servis. PACT is still looking for its ninth board member. If any member would like to serve on the board for 2010, please contact us at info@polishcommunity.org .
Last but not least, everyone was treated to samples of Chicken Paprikash, Bigos, and blackberry compote; so no one went home on an empty stomach.
