Our yearly drawing of prizes will take place on Zoom using your registration number. The numbers will be assigned following the order of registration, from 1 to …up to 300. One number per registrant/family. Keep it safe but in plain view. As usual, prizes will be …fabulous. 

How to prepare:

• Register with Helena by noon 12/12/20. 
• Be patient with technology. If you will need help, Malgosia Thurstone, our WebMaster will be available before the meeting for troubleshooting. ASK YOUR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS FOR HELP. They rock on Zoom. 
• If you wish, please submit the family photo to the PAC Secretary along with your registration email and indicate your wish to address our Zoom crowd with the Christmas Greetings (30 seconds shoutout per family). In no way will this recreate our joyful chaos of Christmas greetings during our Wigilias but the technology gives us the unique opportunity to be together differently! Bonus: no MASKS required!

Our traditional winter drive for the homeless that was taking place during WIgilia cannot happen in the traditional way. However, the needs of the Columbus’ homeless population are even greater this year than usual. We encourage everyone to donate new or gently used winter clothes by dropping them off at PAC Trustee, Mrs. Iwona Testani. Please contact Iwona at 614 5969208 to arrange the drop-off. Alternatively, clothing can be dropped off at the St. Christopher Church after the polish mass each Sunday at 12 pm in November and December. Please ask for Mrs. Eliza Warzycha (she will also have Oplatki for sale)

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR GENEROSITY.

Msza Święta w języku polskim będzie odprawiana w każdą niedziele o godzinie 12-tej w kościele Św. Krzysztofa w Grandview.

YogaBear Club for ladies involves not only exercise sessions with elements of aerobic, yoga and dance but also an active social life. The meetings usually end with getting “a bite” to eat. Hence the name of the club. Usually, they take place every Thursday, 7 p.m. at Upper Arlington Library Lane Branch. During summer months that location is not available. We meet in parks, on farms or hiking trails, in private yards. We not only exercise then but also walk, run, ride bikes or pick fruit.
The sessions are FREE OF CHARGE. Please check with Marzena Myszkowska, tel. 614.596.3282 about the meeting.  

YogaBear Club to nie tylko zajęcia ruchowe dla pan z elementami aerobiku, yogi, tańca,... ale także ożywione życie towarzyskie, które na ogół kończy się Małym-CoNieCo. Stad nazwa ;-). Treningi zwykle odbywaja się w każdy czwartek o godz.19:00, w salce bibliotecznej Upper Arlington Library Lane Branch. W miesiacach letnich, z uwagi na brak sali, spotykamy sie w różnych punktach miasta: w parkach, na farmach, w prywatnich ogrodach, alejach spacerowych. Wtedy nie tylko cwiczymy, ale takze spacerujemy, biegamy, jeździmy na rowerach, zbieramy owoce.
ZAJĘCIA BEZPŁATNE. Informacje o spotkaniu uzyskasz u Marzeny Myszkowskiej, tel. 614.596.3282
