We want to wish Monika well on her new journey and thank her for all of the hard work and time she gave to the Polish Club. She successfully kept our club open all summer for the first time in more than 15 years. "We have scheduled a Volunteer Clean Up Day from 10 AM to 1 PM on Wed, Oct 2 With A Free Lunch At 1 PM." "Please join us if you are able!" Due to the increase with the cost of food your Board of Directors voted to increase the cost of our dinners from $10 to $12 beginning Nov 6. This includes the "dinner, dessert and coffee". Best Deal In Town! We decided to maintain our current admission cost at $6 for members and $8 for non-members. We decided to maintain our yearly membership cost at $25 per person. We continue to depend on our Booster Club donations to offset the increase of other costs. Thank you so much to those who have increased their Booster donations in recent years! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- " We Will Have Our Next Club Meeting On Monday, Nov 14 at 12 Noon" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We will continue to make plans for our Club's activities.
