PWA
CELEBRATES 111th ANNIVERSARY
May 22 is Founder's Day

Polish
Women's Alliance of America will be celebrating its 111th anniversary
this year on May 22nd. On this day in 1898, a group of Polish
immigrant women met in Chicago, Illinois, with Stefania Chmielinska
as their leader, and they founded the first fraternal benefit
society for Polish women. It was a revolutionary idea at the
time-that women could run their own organization, manage their
own finances, provide life insurance and other benefits to other
women, and work together to achieve independence and equality.
111 years later, their dreams have become a reality and we honor
them for their hard work and for their vision. They left us
a world that is better than the one they inherited. We must
do the same for future generations of PWA members. Happy Anniversary
PWA!
