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.
