🚨 Today is the LAST day for Early Bird tickets! 🚨

The Summer Reception is almost here, and our planning committee has been hard at work making sure it’s an evening to remember. We’ve been:

✨ Perfecting the decorations
📸 Putting together a fun photo area (because if there isn’t a photo, did it even happen?)
🥟 Making sure you’ll enjoy the best Polish cuisine this side of the Atlantic
🏆 Giving the awards their final polish—figuratively… and maybe literally.

All that’s missing is you!
