PAC Constitution and By-Laws Discussion of the proposed changes.

Dear Members,

You are invited to attend a Q&A meeting to review and discuss the proposed changes to the Polish American Club of Columbus Constitution and By-Laws.

The Constitution and By Laws were adopted in 1980. The documents guided us safely for over 4 decades of activities. We want to keep it spirit and intention of the founders. The proposed updates, suggested to you by the current Board and its Officers after numerous discussion, are intended to protect the Club’s assets, allow greater flexibility in using social media and modern communication, improve voting efficiency, and strengthen the Club for the next decade and beyond.

Please review the attached Constitution and proposed changes before the meeting. We welcome your questions, comments, and suggestions. We plan to vote on the prosed changes in December.

Respectfully,

Helena A. Rempala, PAC President

UWAGA! ATTENTION! UWAGA!

Dyskusja nad zmianami w Konstytucji i Regulaminie.

Szanowni Państwo,

Zapraszamy wszystkich członków na Walne Zebranie poświęcone omówieniu proponowanych zmian w Konstytucji i Regulaminie Polish American Club of Columbus.

Konstytucja PAC i Regulamin zostały sformułowane w 1980 roku. Dokument ten prowadził nas przez ponad 40 lat i chcemy pozostać wierni oryginalnym zamierzeniom członków założycieli naszego Klubu. Proponowane zmiany, które obecny Zarząd sugeruje Państwu po wielu dyskusjach, mają na celu ochronę majątku Klubu, umożliwienie korzystania z mediów społecznościowych i nowoczesnych form komunikacji, usprawnienie głosowania oraz wzmocnienie Klubu na kolejną dekadę i dalsze lata.

Prosimy o zapoznanie się przed zebraniem z załączonym tekstem Konstytucji oraz proponowanymi zmianami. Zapraszamy do zadawania pytań oraz dzielenia się uwagami i sugestiami. Glosowanie nad zmianami do Konstytucji planowane jest na Grudzień.

Z poważaniem,

Helena A. Rempala, Prezydent PAC

Marzanna is a traditional Slavic figure representing winter, and every year, people in Poland make a straw doll and burn or drown her to mark the start of spring.
Join us on March 21st for our own “Drowning of Marzanna” celebration!
We’ll meet at Highbanks Metro Park at 12:30 PM to send Marzanna away and celebrate the arrival of longer days and warmer weather.
Everyone is welcome—bring family and friends, dress for the weather, and get ready to shout “goodbye winter, hello spring!” as we send Marzanna off until next year.

Step back into the magic of our Ostatki celebration, The Carnival of Hearts: The Black & Red Affair, held on February 14 at The American Legion Hall. This unforgettable evening blended the lively traditions of Poland with the romance and joy of Valentine’s Day, creating a night full of warmth, color, and community spirit.
From the elegance of the Polonaise to joyful dancing late into the night, the room was alive with music, laughter, and connection. Friends, families, and couples joined in fun games and heartfelt moments, making memories that we’ll cherish for years to come.
