January 7, 2013 Dear PACC Members and Friends,
As we welcome 2013, the Polish American Chamber staff extends our very best wishes for a happy, healthy, and prosperous year!
During the eventful final weeks of 2012, we had a great time Dec. 11 networking and viewing 'Listy do M' at the Society for Arts. On Dec. 13, PACC representatives enjoyed the opportunity to promote the organization and Poland while networking with members and friends of the Chicago International Trade Commissioners' Association (CITCA) and the Chicagoland Chamber International Trade Center.
 
And we have already had a promising start to the New Year by meeting up with Marzena Abrahamik, recipient of the PACC 2012/13 Anna and Tony Zaskowski Scholarship. Marzena is a graduate student of photography at Yale University. We will have an occasion to encounter Marzena soon again at the Jan. 10th PACC WOSP Sub-Chapter Special at Play Book-Sports Bar. She has graciously donated one of her photographs to be auctioned during the annual fundraising event.
