A BENEFIT TOUR OF POLAND
This year, we have prepared a unique tour of Southern Poland which begins in Warsaw and goes on to Sandomierz, Baranow, Frysztak, Tarnow and Zalipie. Many will notice that this is a region from which many Polish Americans trace their roots (Malopolska or old Galicja). Special treats include a medieval banquet, a visit to the fascinating Krzyztopor Castle, and much more. There is a trip to the Tatra Mountains and a three-day stay in the city of Krakow, the jewel in Poland's crown. In the past, we have sponsored tours which featured Central Poland, Eastern Poland, and Western Poland.

For further information, call PAT TOURS, the agency coordinating this
tour, at 413-746-7702 or 1-800-388-0988.
