Dear Friends and Shrine Volunteers!

It’s that time of year again! The 44^th Annual Polish American Festival is just around the corner. This
year’s Festival will be held on September 5, 6 & 7 (Labor Day Weekend) and on September 12 & 13.
Preparations have already begun and members of the Festival Committee have been hard at work for several months planning and getting things ready for this year’s festivities. There are some new things on the “menu” as well as some new attractions we would love to tell you about. Please join us for the Festival Volunteer BBQ on Sunday, August 2^nd at 2:00 PM. It will be held on the Festival grounds near the pavilion. Please RSVP if you can attend the gathering by calling the Shrine at 215-345-0600 by August 1^st.

Even though we lost a day due to rain last year, thanks to your hard work the 2008 Polish American
Festival was a success! Each year we really rely on the commitment and hard work of the Shrine Volunteers to help make the Festival a success and this year is no different. We really need you! We hope you will be able to join us this year. Enclosed is the Festival Volunteer Sign up sheet. Please fill it out and return it to us at the Shrine by August 15^th. If you have any family or friends who would like to volunteer as well, please let us know.

The Pauline Fathers and the Festival Committee would like to express their sincere appreciation for giving your time and energies to make the Annual Polish American Festival possible.

May God bless you and Our Lady of Czestochowa guide and protect you always.

Sincerely yours,
Pauline Fathers and the Festival Committee
