COMMUNITY

PIEROGI WITH MAYOR DODGE Community members gathered for an evening of pierogi and meaningful conversation with Mayor Jim Dodge, joined by special guests Jan Król and Krzysztof Zoltek of the Polish Highlanders Alliance of North America and Michał Arciszewski from the Consulate General of Poland. Hosted at Signature Barn Banquet Hall, the event brought residents together to discuss the Polish Constitution, plans for a proposed Polish American Cultural Center and the enduring strength of Orland Park’s vibrant Polish-American community. Thank you to Signature Barn Banquet Hall for graciously hosting this memorable evening.
