Organizational Meeting of the Lake Michigan Chapter of the Carpatho-Rusyn Society

The first meeting of the Lake Michigan Chapter of the Carpatho-Rusyn Society will be held at 1 p.m., Saturday March 13, 2010, at the Polish Museum of America, 984 Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago.

The museum is not charging us for setting up of tables in its main hall, but asks a $4 donation per person, which is almost half the normal suggested donation for museum visitors.

Feel free to pass along details to anyone you think may want to be part of the core group of organizers. Among things we'll do at the meeting is choose temporary officers and schedule more of a public gathering.
