LINDEN RD. * FLINT, MI * (810) MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT The holidays and end of year are quickly approaching, which is always a good time to reflect on what has happened during the year. To recap, we had our best year to date with two of our annual events, the Rib Cook-off (won by James Jeirsted) and the Kielbasa Open. I would like to emphasize that the commitment shown by each and every one of you has allowed us to continue to meet our day to day obligations. I would also like to highlight the positive attitude of the professionals who have joined our staff and whom, from the very first moment they joined, have made an effort to make improvements to our club. Throughout this year we have demonstrated passion, commitment, humility and a desire to do things well and continue to grow our memberships and the strength of our club. I believe that this is the path we must follow going forward in order to continue to make Dom Polski the wonderful club that it is today. I am very proud to serve as President to this membership and appreciate the Dom Polski members and volunteers for all their hard work and dedication. I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and may all your wishes for 2017 come true. I hope that during this festive season you will be with your families and loved ones. Make the most of the holidays, and spend time with family and friends that the hustle and bustle of everyday life does not normally allow. At Dom Polski we are excited to welcome in the New Year with great optimism and at the same time knowing that it will be a time filled with challenges for which we will require the commitment and dedication of all those who make up this organization.
