March 20 ' 2010
Marzanna

We feel sorry for everybody who could not come to this annual spring picnic organized by the PAC Club. To everybody who could have but did not – your loss. We had an exceptionally nice day for Ohio. It has not been this sunny and warm in the last five years we “scared” winter away. The students of PACanow were there and knew well why they were there and what to do. They were proudly using the rattles made during their club’s meetings. We also had five dogs present. Along with taking care of the main goal of the gathering (making sure that winter is gone for good) we had a very good time and very good food. Supported by proof in the form of pictures (on this page + PICs) and the testimony of witnesses:
I PRONOUNCE THE DESTRUCTION OF WINTER!

• I have given this basic advice to many people on numerous occasions. Here it is one more time though, in writing:
1. If you have underage children – write a will, please. In case of your sudden death their future will be decided by you not by local bureaucrats. This way your children will have a chance to be raised by loved ones (family or friends, possibly in Poland) not by court appointed strangers.
2. If you have a mortgage on your house – buy a life insurance policy worth at least as much as the remaining mortgage, please. The sooner the better because younger age and good health will qualify you for lower monthly premiums. If tragedy happens the family you leave behind will still have a roof over their heads. They will be spared at least that problem.

• In life’s most tragic moments we can see clearly how important our small but organized Polish community is. When one has to say goodbye to a beloved family member it is hard to overestimate the support of a group of reliable friends and acquaintances, and the Polish Mass. We thank the organizers for the beautiful Mass said for the soul of Slawek and everybody for attending. The sorrowed family was not left alone.

You are not
with us but
you are
never forgotten.

It is with deepest sympathy we announce the death of SLAWOMIR JANIK who passed away on Thursday March 11th 2010. He was 48 years old.

• Hello Polish American Club, The students at The Ohio State University have started our own Polish Club. We have been chosen to be a part of Taste of OSU this year (on Friday, January 29th)! It is an amazing opportunity to get our club visible around campus, potentially get new members and have over 800 people taste some delicious Polish food. We have already chosen the menu: cheese and potato pierogis, kielbasa, sweet cheese nalesniki, and karpatka for dessert. YUM! Since we have just started the club, we do not have many student members and we really need as many people as possible to help put our booth (food preparation, decorations, etc) together during the next two weeks. The school will be buying all of our ingredients and gave us three time slots for next week to do the cooking in the school kitchens but we would love for some Polish American members to come help with some authentic polish cooking!! Time Slots for food preparation are: Wednesday(Jan 27) 6-9pm, Thursday (Jan 28) 6-12pm, Friday (Jan 29) 8am-2pm. Any help at any of those times would be greatly appreciated! As well as any Polish decorations, posters etc that we could decorate our booth with would be greatly appreciated as well!! Dziekuje (Thank you)!!! Looking forward to hearing back from you :) Thank you, Ida Klarenbach 614-750-9122

• Dear Friends, The National D-Day Memorial in Virginia has decided honor Josef Stalin by placing his bust on a pedestal at its museum. Several Polish war veterans in New York, who fought against Stalin and Hitler, have asked me to write something about this outrageous development. As my father and grandfather both fought against Nazi and Soviet troops during WWII, I could not sit back silently without commenting. Here is the article on the Huffington Post. Feel free to add your own comments. If you are as outraged as
I am, please send a letter to the President of the D-Day Memorial, William McIntosh, or to President Barack Obama at: whitehouse.com . Please let them know how you feel about the United States honoring Stalin with his bust in this memorial. Sincerely, Alex Storozynski President & Executive Director The Kosciuszko Foundation (jm)

Driven by our patriotism last Sunday afternoon we gathered at the Polish exhibit
in Tuttle Crossing Mall. We wanted to proudly represent our community during the International Parade. The exhibit dedicated
to Krakow Szopka was beautiful thanks to Kasia and Grzegorz. We looked awesome ourselves; a group of almost thirty dressed
in red and white or just dressed up for the occasion. Unfortunately, nobody from the board of the Polish Club joined us. And it turned out that the parade was cancelled.
Let me express both great appreciation and heartfelt apologies for that unfortunate situation to everybody who was there (I am not really sure though whom they should be coming from). On a positive note, there are still people around here who can always be counted on!
