Invitation to Kosciuszko Imieniny at PMA.

Dear Members and Friends of the Kosciuszko Foundation,

On the initiative of Alex Storozynski, the Kosciuszko Foundation President, 2008-2014, all of the KF Chapters organize a celebration of Tadeusz Kosciuszko’s Imieniny (Name-Day). More information on Tadeusz Kosciuszko, KF mission, activities, initiatives and events is available at www.thekf.org.

The celebration of Tadeusz Kosciuszko’s Imieniny brings back a Polish tradition as well as memories of a significant historical event. On October 28th, 1792, the Imieniny for Tadeusz, Prince Czartoryski held a party at the Sieniawa Palace for Tadeusz Kosciuszko.     

This year, our Chapter uses this opportunity to honor John Kulczycki, Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Illinois at Chicago, for his outstanding contribution to the Polish-American community, especially in the field of education and historical studies.

You are cordially invited to the celebration of Tadeusz Kosciuszko’s Imieniny                                                                        Friday,   October 17th, 2025, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.                                                                                    

  at the Polish Museum of America, 984 North Milwaukee Ave., Chicago

The event will include a presentation by Professor Kulczycki on “The Polish National Identity in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Its Legacy.”  

There will also be a music program, refreshments and raffle.

The suggested donation for the event is $20. Please make your reservation as soon as possible.

We would greatly appreciate your support in a Well-Wisher listing in our program booklet. These contributions are vital to our mission and will be used for scholarships. Please complete the attached RSVP form and return it as soon as possible to Lidia Filus at the email and mailing address below.
