There are not so many Polish people now in the area of Trenton-
Philadelphia.

The parade in Trenton would ne  a novelty that way that NY parade is
too far for many to travel- rarely Philadelphia or Trenton show of
there; if so singular organisations.

The issue is that the area needs the awarness of history not to
damage
the lanmarks or treat it in the ignorant way.

The Phili parade is fixed for thE same day that the Pulaski parade
takes place in NY. That will be no show/ OR LOW SHOW.

ORIGINAL DATE FOR THE PUILASKI PARADE WAS OCTOBER 10; THE COLUMBUS
PARADE BOOKED SELF FOR THE PRECISE DAY - MONDAY OR SOMETIMES IS HEALD
NEXT sUNDAY IF PEOPLE WORK IN TOWN - THESE ARE POLULAR AMD PLANTY OF
THEM.

THE BEST BET SEEMS TO BE TO CHECK IF NOBODY BOOKED COLUMBUS DAY ON THE
WEEKEND NOT TO CONFLICT; IF IT DID ON THE 1O DO PARADE ON SATURDAY;
IF IT DID ON THE 11 - ON SUNDAY OCTOBER THE 10 TH IS A GREAT BET;
SATURDAY BEING GOOD TOO AS CHILDREN OF SATUDAY SCHOOLS WILL LEARN
ABOUT TRENTON AND USE SONGS THAT THEY KNOW;

 THIS WILL STILL TAKE A FEW DAYS TO CONFIRMN THE DATE AND THE MARSHALL
- NATO WANTS TO MARSHALL BUT WE THINK IT IS A BAD TASTE JOKE.

THIS PARADE HAS NEW CONCEPT - THE NEW GENERATION THAT BAREY REMEMBER
STEH SHORAGES OF COMMUNISM; OR IF IT DOES DOE NOT KNOW WHAT THAT WAS
AND DOES NOT CARE TAHT MUCH ABOUT HISTORICAL COMPLAINS, FOR NO FAUT OF
THEIRS , NEEDS THE MEETING PLACE, THE CONSOLIDATION; THE RECOGNITION
OF HISTORY. TAHT GENERATION HAS HUGE VISIONS TOO.

THE TRENTON AREA SCANTY POLISH ORGANISATIONS ARE IN THE INTERNET.

THE EMERGING MARSHAL WILL NOT BE ANNOUCED TILL THE LOCAL ORGANIZATION
WILL CHEW THE IDEA.

THE AREA IS JUST GREAT; IT MIGHT EVEN FIRE UP BETTER THAN PHILI; MORE
PEOPLE IN NJ; WE CAN ADVERTASE IN 4 STATES THAT CASUALY DO NOT MAKE TO
NEW YORK OR CHICAGO PARADE  AS IT SEEMS FAR OR FURTHER THAN TO TRENTON
( I AM NOT SURE OF CLEVELAND - IT SEEM TO CELEBRATE THE VERY FIRST
PARADE DATE MAY 11 - THAN WASHINGTON DC HAD POLISH PARADES ON MAY 11 -
NOTHING LIKE THAT NOW).

THUS POLISH YOUR FLOADS, NEVERTHELESS WHILE PHILI WILL COMPETE WITH NY
PARADE ON OCT 3, 2010


TRENTTON IS WHERE THE FAMOUST WASHINGTON CROSSINGS OCCURED - VERY NEAT
PATH ALL THE WAY TO PHILI FOR HIKING; RIDING; FLYING OVER OR BOATING

THIS INFO IN THE INTERNET; I FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE GREAT GAPES IN
TEH INTORMATION ABOUT POLISH PEOPLE.

Polish People in the Philadelphia Area

1. During the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, a mini-port of entry,
similar to Ellis Island in New York, was located at Delaware and
Washington Avenues in South Philadelphia. This port of entry welcomed
immigrants from Poland, Italy, Germany, Lithuania, Ireland and other
countries. Large numbers of European immigrants settled along
Philadelphia’s waterfront. The first Polish American settlement was in
what is known as the Fishtown section of Philadelphia. Soon afterward
a Polish Catholic church was founded, St. Laurentius, at Berks and
Memphis Streets in 1882, to address the needs of the growing Polish
community. It was followed by the founding of St. Stanislaus Church in
1891 at 3rd and Fitzwater Streets in South Philadelphia, close to the
immigrant port of entry and waterfront employment opportunities.

2. As time passed, the new Polish American communities spanned the
waterfront from South Philadelphia to the Northeast section of
Philadelphia. They established themselves as a reliable and
industrious workforce, especially in waterfront, railroad and
manufacturing enterprises. Polish communities continued to grow
throughout the City of Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs and
migrated across the State of Pennsylvania, where almost two million
Pennsylvanians share full or partial Polish heritage.

3. Today, Polish Americans form an important segment of the great
mosaic of America, comprising the sixth largest ethnic group in
America. More than 20 million live throughout the 50 states. Ten
million are of full Polish heritage, while ten million share partial
Polish heritage. Their accomplishments contribute greatly to American
society in all walks of life, including business, education, science,
politics, sports, religion, military service and the arts. Polish
Americans continue to celebrate their heritage at Polish churches,
schools and organizations and participate in numerous cultural,
patriotic and civic events throughout the year. They preserve an old
country flavor in many neighborhoods across the country by operating a
variety of businesses featuring Polish specialty items, including deli
meats, baked goods and imported items from Poland.

In October, 2008, the Polish American community will mark the 400th
Anniversary of the First Polish Settlers in America.

LAST PARADE HERE WAS NOT RUN BY NATO EITHER (UNLIKE IN SPRING) - IT
WAS VERY GLAMOROUS SPANISH PARADE FROM ALL LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES
WITH
NATIONALLY BENDED MUSIC AND MARCHING BANDS
