Joey Hamer, boys 11 Free Throw Champion, shot 19 of 25 at the District Championship on February 28, but lost to the Holy Spirit champion who missed only one of 25. Our other champion is Christian Runyon, boys 12, who could not attend the District Championship Polish Night at St Mary of Sorrows Council 8600 Polish Night was held at Old St. Mary’s Hall on February 27, 2010. Once again, the event was “sold out” and appeared to be a rousing success. A good time was had by all. An event such as this cannot take place without plenty of help. To start with, it is appropriate to thank the “unsung heroes” who performed clean-up. This part of the task is difficult and many of the attendees helped to bring the hall back into shape for socialization after the masses the next morning. The preparations for the evening also took a fair number of individuals who took care of necessary preparations. One notable individual was Frank Gniazdowski who brought homemade pierogis. In additions, the homemade product was supplemented by plenty of “Mrs T’s” pierogis, bought and cooked by the John and Carolyn LaRosa. Mike and Dottie Soroka brought salad and dressing. And, Gerard and Laura Durback brought a dessert. Frank and Betty Romano brought a couple of cheesecakes. Then, two of the “heavy hitters” who always shine in the background were Sandy Obuchowski and Vi Barone. These two individuals did much of the preparation, including Sandy going to Baltimore to pick up the fresh sausage (made the day before), purchased from Ostrowski Sausage in Fells Point. They also did much of the setup of the food to make the presentation look so great. While the ladies were setting up, Alex Obuchowski and Bob Plebanek were in the kitchen frying the pierogis to be served. Erc Barone, Jim Cella (Cellaski) and Al Obuchowski bought most of the remainder of the items required for the evening. They also prepared much of the food for serving. The menu for the evening consisted of appetizers of cheese, crackers, and pickled herring. There was also plenty to drink during the evening, including an adequate amount of Polish Water, enjoyed during the meal. The meal consisted of Polish sausage, sauerkraut, pierogis, beans with mushrooms and almonds, grilled onions, bread, and salad. Finally, desserts including cheesecake and homemade (Sandy) cookies were consumed.
After enjoying the foods of Poland enjoy the foods and music of the Irish.

Five-Car-Raffle
ARTICLE ON ANNUAL SURVEY Once a year with each member’s bill, we enclose an annual survey form. This form is requested by Supreme to gather each councils volunteer hours to their community. Many of you fill out the form religiously and return it with your member bill payment wondering what ever happens to my input.
The Financial Secretary tabulates the results, enters them on a form for Supreme and forwards the completed form to Supreme. We have been remiss in not providing feedback to those of you who have submitted your survey sheet other than to those who attend one of the meetings where feedback is provided. For those of you unable to attend the meeting where the results are briefed, here are the results for the calendar year 2007.
Activity Number Number of visit to the sick 1,993 Number of visits to Bereaved 368 Number of Blood Donors 104 Number of visits to Habitat for Humanity 198
Activity Hours of Volunteer Service Church 8,342 Community 6,201 Youth 4,405 Miscellaneous 3,594 Visits to Sick/Disabled Members and their Families 2,017 TOTAL VOLUNTEER HOURS 22,740
This effort was very similar to last year and reflects the commitment our council makes to the community. The council and the community are thankful for the support provided and we thought it should be made known to all brother Knights who contributed their time and skills to assisting those in need. Thank you! Phil Torrey
