CHICAGO, IL (December 12, 2010) — The Polish American Chamber of Commerce (PACC) Annual Holiday Gathering was held Friday, December 10, and was a resounding success due to the good cheer and celebratory spirit brought by all guests to one of the most special of all Chicago cultural venues.
 
This year, members and friends of the Chamber gathered in Chopin Theatre, the independent award-winning arts center located in the heart of Chicago‘s artistic neighborhood, Wicker Park. The event’s success was also made possible by the generosity of sponsors, including the Seneca Hotel, Fuksa Khorshid LLC, and FYI, Inc. Door prizes were provided by Tukiendorf Training Institute;  Dom itp; Sawa’s Old Warsaw; and the International Museum of Surgical Science.

“This year’s location of our event provides a great setting in Chicago to celebrate the holiday season with its stylish and friendly atmosphere. And because we’ve added many new members this year, it’s an occasion for all to bond and celebrate together before the end of the year,” said executive director Bogdan Pukszta.
