Outreach 

Polish Heritage Club members participate in a variety of community service activities. The Club has provided humanitarian assistance donations to charitable organizations in Poland by donating clothing, money for meals to impoverished children, and educational materials to assist in the mastery of the English language.

 

Members were also active in the annual proclamation of May 3 as Trzeciego Maja Day in Wisconsin and the development of the Polish display at Old World Wisconsin near Eagle, Wisconsin. Members continue to maintain communication and contact with a variety of organizations with similar purposes.

 

As a Club, members regularly participate in season pledge drives for WHA-TV, Madison's public television station. Members have also assembled a directory of Polish resources and related information for distribution to the community.

 

Members organize a Madison Public Library exhibit each October to recognize Polish American Heritage Month. Members have presented seminars about Polish topics at schools, senior centers and community centers. The Club also participates in cultural folk festivals and other community events.
