Since its founding in 1965, the Polish Heritage Society has sought to give prominence to our cultural heritage and endow Polish traditions with new life in this country. Through its stimulating programs, the Society enhances members’ understanding and enjoyment of Polish history and the culture and values of our forefathers: Provides leadership, preserves Polish traditions, stimulates cultural interest and promotes good fellowship
