Observations
Congratulations to the recipients of the Central Citizens Committee General Pulaski Medal of Honor, awarded by the committee in recognition for outstanding service and support to Polonia. This year, the committee recognized Don Horkey, Greg Kowalski, Laurie Gomulka, George Lukowski, Terry Manning, Fr. James Mazurek, Eugene Oleszko, Fr. Roman Pasieczny and Michael Wilk. Also honored was the Detroit Tigers Organization for the ongoing successful tradition of Polish American night at Tiger stadium, the oldest ethnic night in baseball. We thank Barbara Gronet for her contributions of coverage for this event and for her item on the recent gala celebration by the Club Filarets and the Filarets Choruses of 75 years of Polish music on Sunday, October 17th, 2010 at St. Martin de Porres Church in Warren. Congratulations to the Filarets, and we look forward to many more years of wonderful music.
See this week’s publisher’s note for some upcoming events including Polish Independence day which appropriately coincides with America’s Veterans Day holiday. Honor those who have gone before and sacrificed, and, belatedly, I hope you took the time to vote on November 2nd.
