CHICAGO CHAPTER

Dear Members and Friends of the Kosciuszko Foundation,

On the initiative of Alex Storozynski, the Kosciuszko Foundation President, 2008-2014, all of the KF Chapters organize a celebration of Tadeusz Kosciuszko’s Imieniny (Name-Day). More information on Tadeusz Kosciuszko, KF mission, activities, initiatives and events is available at www.thekf.org.

The celebration of Tadeusz Kosciuszko’s Imieniny brings back a Polish tradition as well as memories of a significant historical event. On October 28, 1792, the Imieniny for Tadeusz, Prince Czartoryski held a party at the Sieniawa Palace for Tadeusz Kosciuszko.

This year, our Chapter uses this opportunity to honor Małgorzata Kot, Managing Director of the Polish Museum of America, for her outstanding contribution to the Polish-American community and the Polish Museum of America, and her longstanding support for the mission of the Kosciuszko Foundation.

You are cordially invited to the celebration of Tadeusz Kosciuszko’s Imieniny

Friday, October 25, 2024, 6 -8 p.m.

at the Polish Museum of America, 984 North Milwaukee Ave., Chicago

The event will include cultural presentations, a music program and refreshments.

The suggested donation for the event is $20. Please make your reservation as soon as possible.

We would greatly appreciate your support in a Well-Wisher listing in our program booklet. These contributions are vital to our mission and will be used for scholarships. Please complete the attached form and return it as soon as possible to Lidia Filus at the email and mailing address below.

We look forward to seeing you at our Chapter’s Tadeusz Kosciuszko’s Imieniny celebration!
