53rd Annual Heritage Award Banquet
October 22, 2023
The Polish American Congress, Illinois Division, held the annual, 53rd Heritage Banquet. Our splendid event was held at the Allegra Banquets on 24 October 2023. Traditionally, we presented the Heritage Award and several other awards in various categories. Please join us in congratulating all awardees again!
We extend great appreciation to everyone participating in our banquet. Among many distinguished guests, we had the pleasure of having His Excellency Bishop, Andrew Wypych; Dr. Paweł Zyzak, Consul General of the Republic of Poland and Mr. Frank Spula, President of the Polish National Alliance and Polish American Congress.
Our entertainment was provided by Mr. Andrzej Rosiewicz, the legend of the Polish artistic stage, Collegium Cantorum Polonia Choir and Polonia Dance Ensemble.
Please see who received this year’s awards and enjoy all of the “as it happened” photos from our banquet.
We are grateful to Mr. Andrzej Brach for all the photos; thank you for your generous donation.
