Celebration
The first part of our 30th Anniversary year of celebration is over with the sharing of dinner, displays, Polish dancing and a brief PGSM history.  We had over 75 members and guests attend our Dinner at the Polish-American Cultural Center in Troy.  It was a great success.  The first PGSM Reymont Award was presented to J. William Gorski and Dzienkuje Award Certificates were presented to the twelve founding members of PGSM for their service to Polonia.   Awards     Photos
