The Mass for the soul of General Władysław Sikorski was held at St Anthony’s Catholic Church. The celebrant was the Parish Dean Father Marian Brzozowski. Readings by Vlodek Bilski, psalms sung by Maria Stańczak.
Commemorative Lunch took place at the Function Room of the Sikorski Club. Short film about recent history of Poland was played. At the conclusion we had a dance presented by 8-10 years old dancers from the Polish Dance Group Kukułeczka.
The most important moment of the day was the announcement of the award of the Honorary Membership – the highest accolade awarded by the General Sikorski Polish Club. It is presented to the most deserving members of the Club.
This year (last award ceremony was 5 years ago), the Honorary Membership was awarded to:
– Mrs Maria Sobczyk
– Mr Piotr Sobczyk
Ms Maria Sobczyk was a Treasurer for 5 years and her husband Mr Piotr Sobczyk, is the current Vice President. They both were members of the Management Committee for over 6 years. They both supported the Club and the Polish cause and helped in the promotion of Poland and Polish culture in Western Australia. The support wasn’t just volunteer work; it was their hospitality, leadership, and also financial support of the Club.
Congratulations and thank you so much to both awards recipients!
