AMOPOD

AMOPOD AMOPOD is: Americans of Polish Descent. Celebrating our cultural roots can be fun, when done the AMOPOD way.

We organize events that emphasize conversation and therefore appeal to people with something to say. The exchange of ideas and information invigorates our interest in one another and in our shared heritage.

Peonies -- but when?
The pink peonies bloomed on Sunday, but the rest are still getting ready. My hope was to have the Peonies Pluck on May 29, a Friday; but it might have to be sooner. Weather also plays a role. Stay tuned.

Two photos, one facing East, towards the pink peonies, and the other facing West, towards the other peonies.

As Mazowsze, Poland’s premier folk and cultural ambassador, prepares to perform this Friday, May 1, at the Copernicus Center, it is worth noting that it’s their 65th anniversary of their first performance in America! And yes, it was here in Chicago at the Aire Crown Theatre in McCormick Place.
My mom was there, she said it was breathtaking! Hope to see you this Friday!
