Polish Activities St. Casimir's Parish Organizes Polish Falcons

Dziennik Chicagoski, Jan. 31, 1894

Thanks to the efforts of Reverend W. Fuhrman, pastor of St. Casimir's Parish, and several outstanding citizens of this community, the members of the parish have succeeded in organizing a unit of the Polish gymnastic society Sokol Polski, or Polish Falcons. To head the new unit, which already counts twenty-one young men in its ranks, the following members were chosen: Joseph Serwatkiewicz, president; Albert Szymanski, vice-president; John Rosinski, recording secretary; Miecislaus J. Szameit, financial secretary; Joseph Kozlowski, cashier; and Alvin Rosinski, temporary instructor. The constitution will be written this week.

Residents of St. Casimir's Parish, I appeal to you! Please send your young sons, 12 years old or over, to our parish hall on February 4, at 2 P.M., so that they may join the Polish Falcons. This organization has taken upon itself an obligation which consists not only in taking care of the 2physical strength of its members but also in spreading enlightenment in order to save the young generation from degradation.

We are certain that other Falcon units, especially the Polish Falcons No. 1, organized in St. Adalbert's parish, will be glad to come to our assistance.

John Rosinski, secretary.
