As we welcome 2012, the PACC staff extends our very best wishes for a happy, healthy, and prosperous year!
We look forward to a successful year of promoting member businesses, raising our profile, fostering connections, lobbying on matters vital to our concerns, and disseminating information on the community’s business, trade, and economic development.
The event’s success was made possible by the generosity of all attendees and donors, esp. Halina Bielowicz; Niles Chamber president Iwona Filipiak; Henry Kazmierczak; Daniela Zarcone Fuksa; Ala and Ania Ozymko of Play Book; Oak Mill Bakery; Miss Chicago Natalia Drag; and last but not least media sponsors, incl. ARTV Chicago; Polvision; Radio Ampol; tvpchicago; Wietrzne Radio; TV WOSP; transcendentphoto.com; and others.
Special thanks go out to PACC Board Member Robert Stafecki who coordinated the event, and John Wojciechowski who MCed the auction.
Those gathered were also addressed by PACC President Lukas Fuksa; Vice Consul Aleksandra Krystek; WOSP Chicago Coordinator and PACC member Marek Kowalczyk; state representative candidates Will Guzzardi and Robert Martwick; IL Supreme Court candidate Aurelia Pucinski; and Magda Doroszko of the Maggie D Grupa.
PACC’s WOSP Sub-Chapter special served as a timely and worthy warm-up before the January 8 WOSP Chicago Finale at the Copernicus Center.
