Financial Report of Benefit Ball Staged by St. Adalbert Parish Societies
Dziennik Chicagoski, May 25, 1895
On May 12 the societies of St. Adalbert Parish staged a benefit ball at Pulaski Hall; its results were satisfactory. The committee in charge, comprised of representatives of the various societies, wishes to extend an old-fashioned Polish "thank you" to the speakers, military societies and civil societies for their co-operation.
The financial statement is as follows:
Income
| Wardrobe | $2.60 |
| Refreshments | 8.65 |
| Tickets sold at Hall | 48.75 |
| Bar [drinks] | 219.30 |
| Tickets sold by societies | 188.75 |
| Total | $468.05 |
Expenses
| J. I. Migdalski (printing) | $6.50 |
| B. Z. Maciejewski (ham, lemons, etc) | 8.07 |
| Christ Bronder (cigars) | 21.20 |
| R. Hensel (music) | 64.00 |
| J. Bonk and Marcinkowski (hall and drinks) | 99.05 |
| J. Michalowski (cigars) | 6.40 |
| Total | $205.22 |
This resulted in a net profit of $262.83. This sum was divided as follows: One third, $87.61, for the benefit of the Pulaski Hall; and two thirds, $175.22, to J. Radziejewski, pastor of St. Adalbert Parish for the benefit of the church and school. The committee suggested the purchase of a canopy for the church.
In the name of the committee thanks are extended to all the supporters of this cause.
