Mission Statement:
The purpose of Alliance of Polish Clubs is to initiate and coordinate the activities of individual clubs and organizations affiliated within the infrastructure by encouraging their interest in assisting the people of Poland and our surrounding Polish-American community in the Chicago area. We uphold and cherish all the fundamental values of our Polish Heritage by consistently arranging and celebrating the national holidays such as the harvest fest, the May 3rd Constitution Day Parade, Wigilia (Christmas Eve), and folk festivals throughout the year so that future generations can appreciate and understand all that their Polish heritage has to offer. Plus the ethnic events reinforce the sense of community.
|
History/Achievements:
In a period of 80 years , thousands of dollars have been sent through individual Clubs to their hometowns in Poland for public purposes such as the building of Schools, Town Halls, Fire Stations, Churches and general improvement. Financial support has also been given for laying of streets, building bridges, instaling electricity for rural areas, telephones, gas and water lines. But most importantly however has been the constant contact of Polish immigrants living in and around the Chicagoland area with their home town in Poland.
