After our regular monthly Business meeting on April 19, 2011, our Lodge participated in a project of making Pysanky eggs. Everyone made wonderful eggs in such a short time that we had during this project. We all had a great time doing the project. We hope this may be a yearly project and to expand of efforts to inculde more people interestend in Polish culture and traditions.
There is an old tale that explains the reasoning of bad worldly events or evil in the world, that it's related to Pysanky, because there is not enough people making Pysanky to replace any of the eggs that break, referring that we need to make more Pysanky eggs for good to happen in the whole world!
Our 2010 Wigilia was a success, and of course as a tradition, the weather was a challenge for us, we set up the room, decorated, shoveled snow and salted the walks to help guide our friends to the door to share a lovely Wigilia once again with us. Thank you to all who helped make our Wigilia special and such a great occasion.
We look forward to next year's Wigilia on December 4, 2011 at the Aboite Township Fire House Community Room, 11321 Aboite Center Rd, in Fort Wayne IN. Opłatek should be available for 1.00 a package to send to family you may not be able to see on Christmas, inquire Jean Podzielinski for details.
Hope to see you next year ice, snow, sleet, hail, rain or shine!
