Mistress of Ceremonies - Mary Sendra Anselmo (Queen 1974) From a young age, it was clear that Mary Sendra Anselmo would become a woman of distinction in Chicago. Her boundless enthusiasm, positive spirit and unending determination are hallmark qualities that have impacted various organizations in and around Chicagoland, and beyond. A strong activist, she participates in political campaigns and continues to fight for various causes, especially women’s rights.

In 1974, Mary was presented as a Debutante at the Legion of Young Polish Women’s White & Red Ball (Bal Amarantowy) and was crowned Queen. She has remained an active member since then, held various board positions, served on numerous committees and holds the distinction of being the Ball Chair three times. A remarkable woman and strong leader, she is the only person in the history of the organization to have served as Legion President the longest - for 3 two year terms!

Mary’s charitable activities are legendary, winning numerous awards for her work. In 2010, Comcast Media, in conjunction with Polish Daily News, presented Mary with the “Dream Big” award for her active and impactful involvement in the Polish community. In 2013, at the annual conference of the Polish American Historical Association in New Orleans, Mary received the Skalny Award for civic merit.

Lending a helping hand to those in need is just something Mary does. She and her husband Henry Anselmo have two sons, Henry and Christopher, who developed Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis when they were young. In her quest to better understand the disease, she volunteered at the Arthritis Foundation. Her commitment was quickly recognized. She was honored as volunteer of the year and her family became the telethon’s poster picture. She served on their board, establishing representation from a non-medical viewpoint to determine where the grant money for research is distributed. This practice is still in place today. In order to improve the perception of disabled people and provide the media with politically correct descriptions of various conditions, Mary served on the Illinois Attorney Task Force for the Disabled for 10 years and chaired the Freedom of Movement Gala.

For 20 years, Mary has worked for the Clerk of the Circuit Court, first hired as a Director of Customer Service and later promoted as Chief Deputy Clerk of Training & Development. She works for one of the largest unified court systems in the nation, responsible for training 1,800 employees a year. With budget cuts growing annually, her peers have always been amazed at her innovative ability to maximize human performance on a shoestring budget. She spearheaded court processes for immigration, child support, expungement, foreclosure and free legal aid to members of the community. Because of her many professional accomplishments, she has received numerous awards: Cook County Public Service, Outstanding Leadership, and Commitment to Employee Training & Development.

With the vast amount of dedicated service that Mary has provided over the years, she has a unique view of membership within any organization. She does not just believe that serving on the board or committee is an opportunity. It is a responsibility to be active and to advance what has already been established. She strives to make everything she participates in better, leaving our community and this world an improved place for everyone, and challenges you to do the same.

PODZIĘKOWANIA Witamy na 80. Balu Amarantowym i corocznej prezentacji debiutantek. W tym roku przypada również 80. rocznica powstania Legionu Młodych Polek. Państwa dzisiejsza obecność zachęca nas do kontynuowania wieloletniej filantropijnej działalności, która wspiera inicjatywy charytatywne, edukacyjne i kulturalne w skali lokalnej, krajowej i międzynarodowej.

Gratulujemy tegorocznym debiutantkom! Wasza ciężka praca i poświęcenie dla Legionu są godne pochwały. Bez nich nie bylibyśmy w stanie rozwijać się jako organizacja działająca dla dobra całej Polonii. Niech przyjaźnie, które was połączą, i wspomnienia z tego wieczoru towarzyszą wam przez całe życie!

Dziękujemy rodzicom, którzy dziś prezentują swoje córki, a także ofiarują wsparcie finansowe i poświęcają czas, także w niedzielę, na rzecz Legionu Młodych Polek. Jesteśmy wdzięczni za zachęcanie córek do kultywowania polskiego dziedzictwa oraz współtworzenia tradycji i wspaniałego balu.

Wydarzenie takiej rangi wymaga pracy wielu oddanych i utalentowanych członków naszej organizacji. Szczególne podziękowania kierujemy do tych, którzy poświęcili swój czas i podzielili się ogromem wiedzy, przyczyniając się do sukcesu tego balu. Bez was nie byłoby to możliwe i jesteśmy za to niezmiernie wdzięczni.

Szczególnie dziękujemy naszym sponsorom, którzy w różnej formie hojnie wsparli nasz bal, podtrzymując jego elegancki charakter. Legion Młodych Polek docenia też relacje medialne w różnych stacjach radiowych i telewizyjnych oraz w prasie. Przyczyniają się one do propagowania naszej działalności dobroczynnej i Balu Amarantowego. Życzymy wszystkim udanego wieczoru. Dziękujemy, że jesteście z nami, by uczcić tę ekscytującą rocznicę naszej organizacji. Mamy nadzieję, że spotkamy się ponownie 7 lub 14 marca 2020 roku na 81. Balu Amarantowym.

Alexandra Ciesla Cornwell, przewodnicząca balu Marianne Kobos Kozelka, współprzewodnicząca balu Barbara I. Ciepiela, Prezeska Legionu Młodych Polek

RÓŻE NA CELE CHARYTATYWNE Po prezentacji, debiutantki będą wręczać uczestnikom balu róże i kwestować. Jest to tradycją Balu Amarantowego od wielu lat. Liczymy na Państwa szczodrość.

Królowa Balu zostaje ta debiutantka, która zbierze najwięcej funduszy z ogłoszeń w książce pamiątkowej i z donacji zebranych za róże.

IN APPRECIATION Welcome to the 80th White and Red Ball and Annual Presentation of Debutantes. This year also marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Legion of Young Polish Women. Your presence tonight encourages us to continue our long-standing philanthropic mission, which supports cultural, charitable, and educational causes locally, nationally, and internationally.

Congratulations to the 2019 Debutantes! Your hard work and dedication to the Legion is commendable and without it, we would not be able to continue to thrive as an organization that exists for the benefit of all of Polonia. May the wonderful friendships you formed and the cherished memories of this evening last throughout your lifetime!

We would like to thank the parents who present their daughters this evening, for donating their financial support, time, effort, and Sunday mornings to the Legion of Young Polish Women. We are grateful to you for encouraging your daughters to embrace their Polish heritage and be a part of this tradition and magnificent Ball.

An event of this magnitude requires the work of many dedicated and talented volunteer members of the organization. A very special thank you to each and every one on who dedicated their time and provided an extraordinary amount of expertise to make this Ball a success. It cannot be done without you, and you are appreciated more than you’ll ever know.

We especially thank our sponsors who generously contribute to different facets of the Ball to ensure that we are able to maintain the elegance of this beautiful custom. The Legion of Polish Women is very grateful for the media coverage we receive from various radio, TV stations and newspapers. We value your broadcasts to the public about the White and Red Ball and our philanthropic causes.

We wish you all an enjoyable evening. Thank you for being here with us to celebrate this exciting milestone in our organization’s history. We hope to see you again next year on March 14, 2020 at the 81st White and Red Ball.

Alexandra Ciesla Cornwell, Ball Chair Marianne Kobos Kozelka, Ball Co-Chair Barbara I. Ciepiela, Legion President

A ROSE FOR CHARITY Following the presentation ceremony, the Debutantes will circulate the ballroom to offer roses to our guests in return for donations.

Tonight’s Queen of the Ball is determined by the combined proceeds each Debutante generates from the donations she received from listings in the program book as well as the Roses she is offering this evening. Proceeds go to support the charitable work of the Legion of Young Polish Women. We sincerely hope that you find it in your heart to be generous during this long-standing tradition of the White and Red Ball.

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 Polonez 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 representing an integration of multiple generations of women. These ladies, along with their partners, are proud to continue this elegant tradition of the past, and welcome you to the White and Red Ball.

BIAŁY 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 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.

On September 1, 1939 the German army invaded Poland, an act of aggression that began WWII. On September 2, a group of young women in Chicago, determined to aid the war-affected people of Poland, met at the home of Helen Lenard and the Legion of Young Polish Women was born.

Thank you to all of the Past Presidents who have served to continue to keep the spirit and the mission of the Legion of Young Polish Women alive for 80 years!

OUR ACHIEVEMENTS AND ENDEAVORS On September 2, 2019, the Legion of Young Polish Women, Legion Młodych Polek, will celebrate eighty 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 $2 million to many worthy causes.

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. The Legion’s “Medical Supplies to Poland” Project provided over $88,000 in supplies to smaller Polish clinics.

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 Gift From The Heart Foundation, 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 Old Irving Park Community Clinic, Sisters of the Holy Family and Special Olympics.

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 74 years of Debutante presentations.

Our beautiful Debutantes join 571 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 eighty years of uninterrupted philanthropy possible. Bóg Zapłać.

Proud of our Projects!

We are proud of our charitable endeavors and the positive impact we have had on the Polish community since 1939.

We love being able to make a difference!

POLISH AMERICAN ASSOCIATION

Last year, Legion bought Christmas presents for children in the domestic violence program at the Polish American Association. Our Debutantes wrapped the gifts at our Christmas Tea and brought the children some much needed holiday cheer. Words could not express their gratitude, so they thanked us with unique and special drawings!

ANAWIM SHELTER FOR WOMEN

"I am grateful for the ongoing support of the LYPW Officers, Members and Friends. Because of the generosity of so many, the Shelter is nearing completion and we anticipate welcoming our first residents by late Spring/early Summer 2019.

Every dollar collected towards this project is used directly in our mission to serve women in need within the Polish community here in the Chicagoland area. The glass-block Cross in this photo is the outside of what will be the future Chapel within the residence. God Bless You".

Teresa Mirabella, President

HOUSE OF ARTISTS

"On behalf of the artists of the Actor's Home in Skolimów and with very humble hearts, we thank the Legion of Young Polish Women for its generous donation to the home. The Actor's Home is an important Polish institution and a reminder of those who have dedicated themselves to Polish art, music, and film to touch all of us and make our lives better. Words alone are unable to express our gratitude for the Legion's support and that it continues to remain true to its roots of ensuring that Polish heritage and tradition remains an important part of our culture."
