We sincerely hope you will be generous to your favorite debutante.

Polonez The melody of this Polonez is “A Farewell to the Homeland” (“Pożegnanie Ojczyzny”) by Michał Kleofas Ogiński (1765-1833), a Polish nobleman, senator, diplomat, and composer.

Ogiński composed the haunting melody of this Polonez when he left Poland for Italy after the unsuccessful Kosciuszko Uprising of 1794.

The Polonez traditionally opens formal state or social events in Polish society. The polonaise originated in Wielkopolska and in its earliest form it was known as Pieszy, Wolny or Chodzony.

When the nobility danced the polonez at the royal court, they arranged themselves according to rank. The leader of the dance, or “Wodzirej”, directed the procession of couples through the rooms of the castle, encouraging all to join. As this dance of the Polish nobility became popular throughout Europe, the French court named the dance for its place of origin. Hence, the Danse Polonaise became the official opening of many court balls in royal and noble houses.

Tonight’s Polonez is danced by the Ball Chair, the President, and the Ball Committee members, who, with their partners, are proud to continue this elegant tradition.

Bozenna Haszlakiewicz – Richard Owsiany Lori Hilson Cioromski – Hubert Cioromski

Bia∏y Mazur The Mazur is a fiery, emotional dance originating in the Mazowsze region of central Poland. The music of the Mazur has inspired many composers to write variations known as mazurkas. One of these compositions, “Mazurek Dąbrowskiego” became the Polish national anthem.

The Mazur expresses all the verve and spirit embodied in its lively music. Various choreographed dance figures are traditionally incorporated into the dance. The “Krakowski” presents trios composed of two women and a man, who urge a pair of single men to perform greater dancing feats in order to impress the audience. During the “Odbijany”, a young woman is besieged by men, who wish to dance with her. She dances with one and then another and then coyly returns to her original place, leaving behind many frustrated partners who caught her attention only for a moment.

Like the Polonez, the Mazur was very popular at courts and manor houses of the nobility and the gentry. As it spread beyond the boundaries of Poland, it was adopted by many as a popular social dance. In the United States, it was popular as the Varsovienne in the late 1800s.

The Biały Mazur is traditionally danced as the white streaks of dawn begin to appear in the sky. At the White and Red Ball, the Mazur is performed by post-debutantes and their partners.

The White and Red Ball remains the Legion’s major source of fund raising. As one of Polonia’s most important social events, the Ball encourages ethnic pride in the young people who attend. We are proud of these former debutantes, who, as members, enable the Legion to carry on its charitable and cultural activities.

Dear 2016 White and Red Ball Debutantes, Their Family, Friends and Guests, The White and Red Ball has been part of our family for generations. I am honored to be the White and Red Ball Chair for the second time. Our family looks forward to attending this elegant event that has been part of our lives for many years.

Grazyna Cioromski

I remember the very first time that I attended this amazing event; it was in 2001 when my niece, Jacquelyn Marsh, was presented and crowned Queen. I was moved by the beauty of this tradition that I stood to watch the entire event. This was something I had never experienced in my life before.

Years later, my daughter, Morgan Gaede Cioromski, worked hard and was crowned Queen in 2009. She was thrilled to be part of the beautiful Polish tradition in which her Aunt Chris and cousins Jackie and Kelsey had also participated.

Now it is my turn to be part of something that is precious, not only to my immediate family but also to my late Mother-In-Law, Grazyna Cioromski. As a Past President of the Legion, Grazyna was passionate about the work that we do. She would have been delighted to know that we are now providing scholarships to the Queen, 1st and 2nd Place winners of tonight’s Ball. We honor her tonight.

None of this would be possible without the encouragement and support of my husband, Hubert Cioromski, who introduced me to the beautiful Polish traditions and culture.

The White and Red Ball is the Legion’s biggest event of the year. I thank you for being here with us tonight and for supporting the fine young women who are debuting. This year is the 71st Anniversary of the Presentation of the Debutantes and surely a night to remember.

All of this is possible with the ­­­­­­­­ hard work of the Debutantes and the support from their families and friends.

ROSE APPEAL: Please look into your heart and help keep these traditions alive. Donate to our worthy cause through the Rose Appeal and help make this night unforgettable for these wonderful young ladies. The donations that you give go to many worthy causes and help those who desperately need it in our community.

Thank you for being here with us tonight. Please enjoy every moment of this most remarkable evening!

The Legion’s Achievements and Endeavors

The Polish Museum of America. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $5,483.00

On September 2, 2016, the Legion of Young Polish Women, Legion Młodych Polek, will celebrate seventy-seven years of uninterrupted philanthropy. This outstanding achievement would not have been possible without the insight of Helen Lenard Piekło and a group of her friends. Founded on September 2, 1939, their initial purpose was to help the people of Poland in their time of need. These visionary women and those who followed their volunteer path have solicited and donated over $1.8 million to many worthy causes.

Polish American Association . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3,500.00

During World War II, the Legion was able to send food and clothing to Polish prisoners of war and was able to deliver medical equipment, hospital beds, and ambulances to the Polish Army Hospital in Great Britain.

The end of the War and the occupation of Poland by an oppressive Communist regime created an even greater need. Assistance was given to the Polish Veterans in Italy, the Polish Mission in Argentina, the Polish Library in Paris, and the Sikorski Institute in London. Within Poland, the Legion continued the tradition of assistance by sending funds to such institutions as the Laski Institute for the Blind, the Catholic University of Lublin, and various senior-citizen and children’s homes. The Legion supported Solidarność, the Solidarity Movement, by providing financial aid for the purchase of food, clothing, and medicine. During the 1980’s, the Legion’s “Medical Supplies to Poland” Project provided over $88,000 in supplies to smaller Polish clinics.

Loyola Women and Leadership Archives. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,000.00

The Legion continues to ensure that Polish culture, heritage, and traditions remain an integral part of its ethnically diverse country. It financially assisted in the establishment of the Chair of Polish Language and Literature at the University of Chicago and supported the Loyola University Chicago Polish Studies Program. It continues its support of the Lira Ensemble, the Polish Arts Club of Chicago, and the Paderewski Symphony Orchestra. The Legion has supported The Polish Museum of America by providing financial assistance in the preservation of the maps of Poland, the Kościuszko Letters of the American Revolution, and the Ignacy Paderewski Room, just to name a few. It has financially supported the Polish Resistance (AK) Foundation and the production of the documentaries of Polish World War II heroine, Irena Sendler, “In the Name of Their Mothers,” and “The Officer’s Wife” about the Katyń Forest Massacre. The Legion is proud to have been a benefactor of “Peace Through Music – In the Spirit of John Paul II” Concert, performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus.

For many years, the Legion has supported the young people of the Polish American community through substantial contributions to Harcerstwo, the Polish Youth Association, Polish language schools, Polish folk dance troupes, and the scholarship funds of the Knights of Dabrowski’s “Crusade for Education” and the Council of Educators in Polonia. The needs of new immigrants from Poland are addressed through financial assistance to The Polish American Association.

The Legion’s concerns reach beyond its ethnic scope, as evidenced by donations to the Little Brothers -Friends of the Elderly, St. Stanislaus Kostka Soup Kitchen, Special Olympics, St. Joseph Leprosy Patient’s Society, the Salvation Army, the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, and Autism Speaks.

The first White and Red Ball, Bal Amarantowy, was held in November 1939. A historic dimension was added in 1945 by incorporating the Presentation of Debutantes - the first “en masse” presentation ever held in the United States. Tonight we are celebrating 71 years of Debutante presentations. Our beautiful Debutantes join nearly 600 past Debutantes in this lovely and elegant tradition.

The White and Red Ball would not be possible without the continued assistance from Legion members and the generous help of its Debutantes, their families, friends, and the business community. The Legion of Young Polish Women is forever grateful to all those who made seventy-seven years of uninterrupted philanthropy possible. Bóg Zapłać.
