Paul J. Pragier
General Chairman
2006 Polish Heritage Festival
The 34th Polish Heritage Festival is dedicated to Unity and Harmony. All Polish people know very well how much we, the Polish Community in the USA, need unity and harmony. This should be our everyday goal to achieve. America, the beautiful land of opportunity and dreams, can make our Polish ethnic group prosperous, powerful and happy as the Citizens of this new Fatherland of ours. It is only up to us if we will be wise enough to take this opportunity. Getting involved with the Polish Heritage Festival is one way of maintaining our ethnic background and showing to all others how we Poles are united here in the USA.
As a chairman of the 34th Polish Heritage Festival, I would like to welcome all who were able to come. I can guarantee you that with this year's committee we did everything possible to make sure that our get-together will be attractive, and will satisfy the expectations of those born in the USA, as well as those who just not too long ago enlarged our immigration family. The program that we prepared is universal and will address everyone. Many thanks to my Committee, officers and members of the Polish Heritage League, Garden State Cultural Center Fund, our sponsors who made this Festival possible, and all our friends who support us. My special gratitude goes to my wife and my family for their love and help.
I hope you will like the entertainment we have prepared for the Festival. May God bless you all.
Sincerely yours,
Paul J. Pragier
General Chairman
