Prof. Poznanski at BOB, May 13, 7 pm
Kazimierz Poznanski is a professor of Jackson School of International Studies. His talk, ‘The Politics of No-Politics: Second Phase of Poland's Transition’ will focus on interplay of politics and economy in Poland as a scene of quickly changing political configurations. What follows is a clear disconnect between the rotation of ruling parties and the needs of national economy. Roots of this dysfunctional politics can be found in the underlying economic system that had emerged from post-1989 reforms.

Zgłaszam swoją kandydaturę na pozycję Prezesa Domu Polskiego. W mijających dwóch kadencjach Zarząd musiał poświęcić bardzo dużo czasu i energii na uporządkowanie problemów związanych z byłym kucharzem i gospodarzem Domu Polskiego. Z pomocą kilku członków Rady Opiekunów, podjęliśmy również energiczne działania w celu rozwiązania wieloletnich, nabrzmiałych, bardzo poważnych spraw dotyczących wspołistnienia Domu Polskiego i okolicznych mieszkanców; instalacja nowych okien jest istotną częścią naszych starań. Czuję się odpowiedzialna za dokończenie obu tak ważnych dla Domu Polskiego spraw. Procedury prawne oraz ograniczenia finansowe nie pozwoliły mi zakończyc ich w minionym roku. Chciałabym, z Państwa poparciem i przyzwoleniem, zrobić to w nowej kadencji. Wierzę, że zmiany personalne w Domu Polskim jak i gotowi współpracować ze mną kandydaci do nowego Zarządu pomogą mi osiągnąć ten cel. Chciałabym zaprezentować kandydatów do Zarządu, z którymi współpraca, w przypadku przedłużenia mojej kadencji, przyniosłaby najkorzystniejsze rezultaty: Starszy Wiceprezes - Mirosław Grabowski, Wiceprezes Administracyjny - Andy Okińczyc, Sekretarz Protokółowy - Mira Pawluśkiewicz, Skarbnik - Paul Griffin, Wiceprezes d/s Kultury - Barbara Strutyński, Wiceprezes d/s Zabaw Janina Jeziorska, Wiceprezes Odbudowy - Paweł Krupa, Sekretarz Korespondencyjny - Basia MCNair.

Zgłaszam swoją kandydatutrę w nadchodzących wyborach do Zarządu Domu Polskiego na stanowisko Viceprezesa do spraw Odbudowy. Paweł Krupa Dlaczego zdecydowałem się kandydować w wyborach do Zarządu Domu Polskiego? Gdy 12 lat temu przeprowadziliśmy się z Nowego Jorku do Seattle, jednym z pierwszych miejsc które odwiedziliśmy był Dom Polski. Tutaj poznaliśmy wielu z naszych przyjaciół, tutaj w dalszym ciągu spędzamy każdego Sylwestra, tutaj też mieliśmy okazje przeżyć wiele niezapomnianych chwil. Wydaje mi się, że każdy członek polskiej społeczności w Seattle ma coś do zawdzięczenia organizacji Domu Polskiego. Jeżeli zostanę wybrany do Zarządu DP, chciałbym poświecić trochę mojego czasu i energi, żeby chociaż w małym stopniu przyczynić się do utrzymania a może i rozwoju Domu Poskiego. Wierzę że mogę się przyczynić do tego żeby Dom Polski rozwijał się i funkcjonował przynajmiej tak dobrze, a może i lepiej niż dotychczas. Paweł Krupa.

I participated in the Ladies Auxiliary activities, as well as being their Treasurer for 16 years. I was the Correspondence Secretary for one year in 1987 and a Trustee for the Polish Home Association for two years. I perform with Podhale at Folklife Festival, bringing Polish culture to Seattle. I am working with the University of Washington Slavic Department as they try to get an endowed teaching position and bring a Slavic Festival weekend to Seattle. I think the Polish Community is a growing community and the Polish Home Association needs to meet the needs of our community and be a good neighbor to those who live around us. I would like to help us meet these goals. Thank you very much, Basia McNair
