Local group raises relief funds for Poland flood victims
Chester Drzoscz of the Polish American Heritage Group says about $2000 has been raised toward a $5000 goal for flood victims in Poland. Peter Drelichowski, coordinating the drive, notes many do not realize the scale of devastation, with hundreds of thousands displaced and crops lost amid Poland's flood crisis. The effort, started after St. Hedwig Church’s Edward Ziemnicki reported the damage, seeks donations from all groups and area businesses despite strong Polish-American backing.
