The Polish Women’s Alliance of America (PWA) celebrated its 115th anniversary in Des Plaines, Illinois on Sunday May 19, 2013. The PWA celebrated its anniversary with a luncheon that included the presentation of the 2013 Remkus-Sochacki Academic Achievement Scholarships and the PWA District Fraternalists of Distinction Awards.
In attendance at this event were the Most Rev. Andrew P. Wypych, DD, Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago – Cardinal George’s Liaison to Polish Catholics, the PWA Officers and District Presidents, friends of the PWA, and representatives from other local and national fraternals.
Our fraternal organization was represented by Mary Therese Tylus, MA, Chicago District President, Jarmila Hlubocky, Chicago District Financial Secretary, Rosemary Mlinarich S258 Secretary/Treasurer and Dr. Fay Hlubocky, S295 Auditor. Master of Ceremonies for this event was none other than Chicago’s own NBC-TV news reporter, Mr. Charlie Wojciechowski.
After the presentation of the scholarship and District Fraternalists of Distinction Awards, a gourmet basket and 50/50 cash raffle was held. All who attended enjoyed the delicious food and fraternal fellowship. We congratulate the Polish Women’s Alliance of America on its 115th Anniversary!
