THE HISTORY OF THE POLISH FALCONS LADIES AUXILIARY
The first official meeting of the Polish Falcons Ladies Auxiliary was held on March 5, 1984. Forty-five women, all wives of the Polish Falcon Society members were original members.
Our founding officers were:
Renee Len……….President
Marcia Hucul……….Vice President
Dona Grzybek……….Secretary
Louise Wienkowski……….Sgt-At-Arms
Our purpose in forming the Auxiliary was to assist the Club in all their endeavors. This continues to be our goal today, as we have opened our membership to friends and family of Falcon members. Through the years, we have helped to remodel and decorate the Club by purchasing needed equipment and fixtures. This was accomplished by the numerous fundraisers held by the Auxiliary, such as the Annual Craft Bazaar, Spaghetti Dinner and Card Party, Steak Dinner, Lenten Baked Good Sale, Chinese Auction, Spring Fashion Show and most recently, our Vera Bradley Bingo’s and Chicken BBQ’s.
Our members have fond memories of all the social events we were a part of at “The Club”. Who can forget working at the grocery and stuffed animal booths at Polka Days, lending a hand on Dyngus Day, running the kitchen for Radio Station FM88 Fundraisers, being cocktail waitresses for Monte Carlo nights and playing Santa’s helpers and the Easter Bunny at the Children’s Holiday parties? Our joint effort to construct a “Falcon Float”, made of chicken wire and paper carnations, won 1st Prize at the Depew Centennial in 1994 and the Pulaski Day Parade in 1995.
Throughout our history, the Auxiliary has made many generous donations to the community, our members have also donated their own time to numerous local charity events. Religious and civic organizations, as well as needy individuals and families, have all benefited from our support.
As we enter of 38th year in 2022, we promise our continued support to the Polish Falcon Society of Depew, NY.
