Polish Club at New York University

Hi guys, there is no rain in the forecast, so the potluck picnic is still on. Like this post if you plan on coming at 3 in WSP. If you are coming, please bring something to eat :)

Hello Polish Club!

The Eboard of Polish Club @ New York University invites you to the last meeting of the Fall Semester, a Christmas Dinner - Wigilia - at one of our favorite Polish restaurants, Karczma!

We will be meeting next Tuesday, December 22nd, 2015 at 6PM in front of Karczma. To get there, take the L train to Lorimer St, transfer to the G train, and get off at Greenpoint Ave. However, because many of our members have never been at Karczma, or been in Greenpoint, one of our Eboard members will be leaving Kimmel at 5:15PM. Please shoot us a message if you would like to join us in the commute over.

Additionally, please note that because this not an official on-campus Polish Club event, it is not sponsored by NYU, and everyone is responsible for paying for their own order.

TLDR
What? Christmas Dinner
When? Tuesday, December 22 at 6PM
Where? Karczma located at 136 Greenpoint Ave. Brooklyn NY 11222
Why? Good food, Great company, and Lots of Holiday Cheer

Enjoy the last few days of the semester, good luck with your finals, and see you all soon!

Also, you can help and become a part of the voting committee, in one of the few voting places: Consulate General (Manhattan), Williamsburg, Greenpoint or Ridgewood. The Consulate has asked for a few volunteers. The election day, which is on 10/24, Saturday starts at 6am in one of your choice locations and goes late… until counting is finished. There is small pay of $88 offered to the volunteers. If you would like to help, and be a part of it, please contact me by Sunday at the latest with your desired location at: [email protected] - Bart. I will forward it to the Consulate with the names of the rest of the volunteers. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

I hope to see you Sunday at the Parade!

WYBORY DO SEJMU I SENATU RZECZYPOSPOLITEJ POLSKIEJ 2015 Zapraszamy do elektronicznej rejestracji wyborców w obwodach głosowania utworzonych za granicą.

Hey Polish Club Members!

There has been a change of plans for this week. Instead of heading to the Lulu Karaoke Lounge, we have decided to take advantage of the good weather and hold a picnic potluck in Washington Square Park. The weather forecast looks great for this Thursday, so let's keep our fingers crossed. On top of the picnic, we will play Podchody - a Polish version of manhunt, so make sure to wear comfortable clothes.

We will be meeting this Thursday, 09.24.15, at 6:00 pm on the southwestern lawn by the dog park. The Executive Board will be in red shirts to help us stand out. We encourage everyone to wear their Polish club shirt or something red in color. Also we ask you to bring snacks such as chips and guac, small salads, sweets, or anything that your heart desires. We will be providing drinks.

James and the E-Board
