June 4, 2006 is going to be our last dance before the heat of the summer, and we will miss you until September 10th. The Varitones Band will be sending us off into the summer vacation and then welcoming us back in the fall, so come out and play.

I’ve been told by our Entertainment Committee Chair, Rose Pachura, that we will have dances scheduled for Sundays in 2007. The schedule is not yet finalized, but it sounds like we will have lots more fun next year.

We still have several more projects to complete in our quest for upgrading our facility which includes the public address system with additional speakers, new amplifiers, and microphones; new ceiling fans; and new tables in the bar area with Tiffany lamps over each table. The back wall of the bar will get a new display case with interior lighting, additional crown molding to be installed in the bar area and hallway. Mirrors are to be installed on the South wall which will make the interior look much bigger than it is now.

Of course we have some long term needs, but nonetheless very important and badly needed. One of which is insulation on the roof. This will probably end up being sprayed urethane foam which is now bidding out at around $6.50 per square foot. Another urgent need is resurfacing of the North side of our parking lot. The asphalt is badly cracked and will need to be completely replaced in some spots. All those are major expenses and will require major influx of funds to complete.

This information is presented to you for a dual purpose. One, is to inform you about where we are and where we are going, and the second reason is to motivate you, the reader, to support our functions and to ask you for your indulgence to help us out with some loose change. Oh, it won’t take much at all – just $40 to $50 thousand. Yes folks, it will take that much $$! The roof alone is estimated around $25 to $30 thousand.

Please remember that Pulaski Club of Phoenix, Arizona Inc. is a 501-C Corporation, and all contributions and donations are deductible from your income tax.

Now that you have seen what can be done, there was lots of good will from our members and friends who donated labor and materials, but it also took a lot of money, $50,000 so far. So if you can, PLEASE CONTINUE TO CONTRIBUTE.

If we can’t raise additional funds, then we will have to take out a bank loan to make all those needed improvements.

I thank all of you who supported us and ask you all to continue to contribute in any way you can in the future. This club was built on the generosity if its members & supporters, and I hope it will carry on in the same spirit that got us here. Casimir Kosinski, President

The Board of Directors are gearing up for another major project. We will be installing ceiling

fans in the dance hall and in the bar area in the next few weeks. June 4th brings to a close the polka dancing for the club until fall. So come out and dance to the polka “soundz” of the Varitones.

“SUMMER BREAK” - There is a dangerous virus being passed electronically, orally, and by hand. This virus is called Worm-Overload-Recreational-Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from any of your colleagues, your boss, or anyone else via any means, DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely. If you should come into contact with WORK, put your jacket on and take two good friends to the nearest pub. Purchase the antidote known as Work-Isolator-Neutralizer-Extractor (WINE). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system. You should forward this warning to 5 friends. If you do not have 5 friends, you have already been infected with WORK, and it is controlling your life. Update: After extensive testing, it has been concluded that Best-Equivalent-Extractor-Remedy (BEER) may be substituted for WINE, but may require a more generous application.
