Despite the winter weather 350 guests attended the event, many of whom dressed as their favourite Disney character. Members of the ensemble, their families and friends enjoyed the dinner togehter. The main atraction of the evening was the performance by “Wesoły Lud”. The group led by Richard Jaminski, the artistic director and choreographer, presented variety of folk dances from the different regions of Poland: Eastern Kraków, Sącz, Lublin, Rzeszów. The best part of the show was everybody’s favorite: Polka. The Emcee of the evening was the Vice – President of the PRCUA, Micheline Jaminski, who is the founder of “Wesoły Lud. For many years, Mrs. Jaminski was also the choreographer of the group.
