COME CELEBRATE OUR 5TH ANNIVERSARY

 
Where did the time go?  Seems like only a year or two ago that the 15 Carpatho-Rusyns shown below gathered on March 13, 2010 at the Polish Museum of America to found the Lake Michigan Chapter of the Carpatho-Rusyn Society.  Now we're preparing to celebrate our fifth anniversary on Sunday, April 26.
