Illinois - Indiana Women’s Division Oplatek

(Photos) On December 6, the Illinois-Indiana Women’s Division of the PRCUA held its Oplatek Christmas get-together at Candlelight Banquets in Chicago Ridge, IL. It was hosted by District 8 Director Krystyna Lech. Res. President Wallace Ozog, Director Lech and Res. V.P. Anna Sokolowski warmly welcomed guests to the holiday event. After President Ozog said grace, everyone shared oplatki with one another. Then all enjoyed a family-style dinner.

After dinner, IL-IN Women’s Div. President Geraldine Kowalski addressed the group and extended holiday wishes to everyone.

Four groups from the PRCUA Wesoly Lud Polish Folk Dance Ensemble, directed by Misia Jaminski, performed a variety of Polish dances and sang Christmas carols to the delight of everyone. Then Santa (Mark Sokolowski) made his appearance and offered gifts to the first ten women who sat on his lap. First Lady Joann Ozog, Res. VP Anna Sokolowski, Dir. Krystyna Lech and others took him up on the deal.

A group photo session was held and the enjoyable afternoon ended with guests winning an assortment of many prizes in a raffle, and the centerpiece on the tables. Michaeline Drust conducted the raffle, with the assistance of her friend Lorene Pontarelli and Diane Cortesi, as well as Cinderella and Prince Charming.

Thanks are extended to everyone who contributed prizes to the raffle, and who helped in any way to make this event a success, as well as to the organizers and Wesoly Lud Dancers.

Here are some photos from the events.
