On Wednesday, August 6, the Polish American Congress (PAC) Michigan Division Scholarship Committee held its annual Scholarship Award Dinner during which this year’s recipients of the PAC Scholarships were presented. The event was held at the “Krakus” Restaurant in Detroit.

The presentation was hosted by Wallace Ozog, the Chairman of the PAC Scholarship Fund Committee and Christopher Adamczyk, the Secretary of the Committee.

The PAC Scholarship Fund Committee selected six students awarded a $1000 scholarship each:

– Filip Buniewicz (attending University of Michigan; majoring in Engineering);

– Matthew Piecyk (attending Macomb County Community College; majoring in Psychology);

– Ewa Bieciuk (attending Wayne State University; majoring in Early Childhood Development);

– Michael Anthony Chruściel (attending Wayne State University; majoring in Master of Library and Information Science),

– Ewelina Kutyma (attending Central Michigan University; majoring in Neuroscience),

– Beata Sas (attending Wayne State University; majoring in Psychology).

All recipients, except Filip Buniewicz, were present at the event. Filip has sent a special thank-you letter which during the banquet was read by his father. “I am currently working in Central Lake, MI as a camp counselor at YMCA Camp HayoWentHa. My days off are predetermined and I do not have a car as my disposal. Thank you very, very much for this award. Every little bit helps with the cost of going to a university. I am very happy at the University of Michigan and gifts such as these make it possible for me to be there,” Filip writes in his letter.

Representatives of many Polonian organizations were present to show their support of the scholarship program. Traditionally, representatives of PAC Federal Credit Union came to present their significant monetary contribution to the fund. Other organizations represented at the Dinner included American Polish Cultural Center, PNA Council 122 and Lodge 1758, Polish American Central Citizens Committee, Polish Falcons of America, the Filarets Choir and others.

At the end of the dinner, a raffle took place with prizes donated by members and friends of the Scholarship Fund.

Since its inception, PAC Scholarship Fund has awarded more than 250 students for a total of over $200,000.

Applications for PAC Scholarships are available at www.pacmi.org.

Dear Mr. President

The Polish American Congress and its representatives throughout the country are disturbed and most concerned about the atrocities that have been occurring in Ukraine over the last several months and most recently, the tragedy concerning the shooting down of the Malaysian Airlines flight MH 17 over eastern Ukraine that killed all of its 298 innocent people.

This last incident by pro-Russian separatists supported nu the Kremlin has also ignited many in the Polish American community to connect it with the airplane crash in Smolensk killing President Kaczynski of Poland and all his Polish government fellow passengers on board the tragic flight in April 2010.

As a Polish American Community, we firmly support imposing consequential sanctions on Russia and other actions should they become necessary.  The Russian-Ukrainian conflict is without a doubt Europe’s most important security challenge since the Cold War and will remain so until it is resolved.

Mr. President, the Polish American Congress urges and supports you in speaking and convincing other world leaders on the dangers that the Russian government has precipitated in Ukraine.  Mr. Putin, as President of the Russian Federation, should be reminded of his responsibility to use his influence and power to curb the unrest and fighting in his part of the world rather than provoking it.

We ask you to use lead the way by trying to influence and promote support of other European countries to act in unison with the United States and to speak with one voice, otherwise we and the rest of the world as well, will never be safe. It’s unfortunate that European countries such as France, England, Italy and Germany fail to recognize the danger in security terms rather than in economic terms principally.  We need to provide support for the new Ukrainian government to maintain its national security and desire to live in peace.

As the Polish American Congress, our concerns are for the safety and well-being of the citizens of Poland based on the fact of its bordering Ukraine and proximity to Russia.

We need to reinforce diplomacy by having conflicted countries respect international laws and rights of neighboring nations which is the basis of security in a civilized world.

The Polish American community looks to your leadership.

Respectfully,

Frank J. Spula

President

Polish American Congress
