The convention was very successful. I really enjoyed talking with everyone and seeing how everyone’s Lodge is doing. This helps to see where other Lodges are at and what works for them and also helps to keep you feeling a part of the bigger picture. A prayer was said by Commissioner George Gustas for departed PNA Members and recently departed Bozena Sztukowski, Frank Spula’s assistant.

There was a mix-up on the delegates formed for the Committees. This resulted in not having a Ways & Means Committee this year.
Sports & Youth had some great new ideas connecting Poland and American kids setting up correspondences through internet, Lodge activities, doing online computer games, Wii tournaments, translations. I will give more details after I can go through minutes and the report.

Membership relays the significance and tradition that Grandparents buy policies for their Grandchildren. There needs to be a continuation in this tradition today, keeping the lodge fruitful and connecting them to Polish culture and heritage.

The new Action Committee was added on the Agenda, for Appointments of Committees, at the 2010 Convention. Members: Jeff (3149), Connie (83), Jeanette (1120). Action Committee sets into Action.

(I will be updating with information soon)
