It is hard to believe that summer is nearing an end! School is starting, football is right around the corner, and things are picking back up at the Polish Falcons! Summertime is usually quieter around the club because members have so many other things going on. We have had a few fun events happen, including: Burrito Night, the Tigers bus trip on Polish-American night, a pancake breakfast, the annual golf outing, and the men's Tigers bus trip. A lot of these events were summarized in our July newsletter, and hopefully you have had an opportunity to read about them (if you were not able to attend).
September is just a couple of days away and we wanted to give you a snapshot of the month's events. They are as follows:

Great Times at Paint Night!
We have been having a fun month at the Falcons! So far, a highlight was our Paint Night, which was on February 3. Our wonderful instructor Shannon from Hearts for the Arts led our group of 35 attendees to painting success. We have another paint night on the radar and this time the picture will be an old English D (just in time for Tigers season). More details are on our Facebook page.
We are always looking for more pictures from our various events and activities - if you have any photos you would like to share, please post them to our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/polish.auxiliary) or email them to grfalcons@gmail.com.
