Why Should I become a member of the PNA?  We are a Fraternal organization, as you may know. But, what does this mean? How are we different? What does the PNA offer that I cant get some where else?  The answer is that as a Member of the PNA, you are considered as family in the PNA. Our Members are all part of an organization that cares about you. Assets that the PNA acquires goes right back to our Members, our Polish heritage, and what we represent and support and not lining pockets of big cooperates or any off shore investors.  We support Poland, all people of Polish descendent's, Polish-Americans and take Pride in our Polish heritage.

Good news for the Plock Poland Commemoration Garden as a Sister City of Fort Wayne
     
The Fort Wayne's (Park & Recreation Department's) Polish Garden, located downtown, next to the Community Center at 233 West Main Street, has been in the need of renovation.  Originally dedicated to Our Sister City of Płock Poland, with the Płock's City Seal, over 6 years ago.  Some of the wood boards on the structure are deteriorated and is in need of repair.  I have been embarrassed recently to tell  people that it is the Commemoration Garden of our Sister City in Poland.
I have long believed it was in need of more than just a few boards replaced.  It needed more emphases.  Something much better.  Most people in Fort Wayne are not even aware of it's existence.
Good news here is their are plans to completely redo the whole garden.  John Deere is generously offering to help this project through.  From my  preliminary hearing of what is being planned, it sounds like it will be a extremely huge improvement, that we will soon be proud to say that this is a Polish Garden in Fort Wayne.  What a better time for the Płock's Commemorative garden to be completely redone than during the 20th anniversary of Płocks and Fort Wayne joining together as Sister Cities.
On July 12th a Dedication Celebration will be held at Parkview Ball Field (prior to game).  Plans are being made for a 20th Year Anniversary and Dedication Ceremony at the garden on July 13th, 2010 with the Mayor of Płock and other delegates from Płock Poland attending.
