Pro Arte League
The Pro Arte League of the Kosciuszko Foundation
was organized in 1970 by a group of women Foundation members to
help beautify and preserve the public rooms of the Foundation House.
An annual Fall luncheon usually generates at least a $5,000 donation
to the Foundation. Among items purchased with the funds have been
tablecloths, draperies, china, glassware, urns, floral decorations,
new entrance doors, and a replicated stair railing for a new spiral
staircase during the Foundation House major renovation. Fashion
shows were presented during the luncheon for many years. Recently,
programs have been featuring performances of a cultural nature,
such as dozynki, opera excerpts from Halka, and the presentation
of young talented students of music. The Pro Arte League meets four
or five times a year at the Foundation House. The League welcomes
any woman Foundation member interested in volunteering some to its
mission.
