Awards
Day 2006
October 15, 2006 at 3 PM
Please join us as we celebrate 60 years in our beautiful
Foundation House. It was on October 17, 1946, that Dr. Henry Noble McCracken,
KF President, welcomed hundreds of guests and formally opened the Foundation
House for our use. Stephen Mizwa, Secretary and Executive Director, finally saw
his vision become a physical reality; “The Kosciuszko Foundation House
will serve as a watchtower, from which we can get a glimpse of the people of
Poland.” Dignitaries representing many Polish and Polish-American organizations
honored us, and an afternoon of music and sociability was shared.
Awards Day 2006 will honor this
year’s KF grantees
and scholars, and include a performance by soprano Nicole Taylor, winner
of the Foundation's Marcella Sembrich Vocal Scholarship Competition.
As usual, a festive reception will give us the chance to welcome friends
old and new, and celebrate the enduring realization of our founder’s
dreams.
Reservations are required and a contribution is requested; please call
the Office at 212.734-2130.
