21 May began the first official visit of The Polish Mission of Orchard Lake and Michigan Polonia LLC, representing United States Polonia to the top government, universities, and museums, archives officials of Poland.
At 5:45pm we arrived for a private meeting with Poland’s First Lady Maria Kaczyński in Łazienki Królewskie Museum and gave her The Polish Mission presentation and extended an invitation to visit Orchard Lake in 2010 for the 125 Anniversary of SS Cyril and Methodius Seminary.
She said she was leaving for Tel Aviv the next morning, but would like to schedule a follow up meeting in early June. After the meeting we attend a gala.
Throughout our busy schedule in Warsaw, Krakow, and Bielsko-Biala the official letters from Chancellor Timothy Whalen were presented to the Ministry of Culture, Foreign Affairs, and the Head of the National Archives. We met with the president of the Holocaust Survivors Foundation when we present the photo album from Auschwitz and discussed future cooperation and start discussions between our communities. The names and emails of the visits are available upon request.
