Dear fellow members of the Polish National Alliance, 

It gives me great pleasure to inform you that our Lodge President, Edward Zavaski, has been selected by the Polish American Business & Professional Association as their "Man of the Year" for 2023. This organization was founded in 1912 to promote the interests of the Polish American business community and provides scholarships to deserving students looking to further their formal education after high school. 

As President Stasia and Michael Killian from the Polish American Business & Professional Association informed Ed of their decision, they referenced Ed's longstanding dedication, hard work, and many years of commitment to the Polish community, of which we are all familiar with and have benefited from. 

There will be an awards banquet and ceremony on Saturday, Oct. 7, at the Crystal Ballroom and Banquet facility in New Britain. Tickets will be available soon once details are finalized. 

Please join me in congratulating Ed on his well-deserved recognition as "Man of the Year" from the Polish American Business & Professional Association of New Britain and we hope to see you at the banquet.

Sincerely,

Kevin M. Scarpati

Office of the Mayor
