Local anniversaries celebrated in Drożki and Turek

Two local organizations in Poland recently celebrated 65 years of service.

In Drożki, the Countryside Housewives' Club (Koło Gospodyń Wiejskich) held a jubilee to mark its history since its founding in 1961 by Zofia Smolarek, Wanda Strzyżewska, and Irena Krzemińska. The organization, currently led by Alicja Ostrysz, has historically focused on preserving local traditions through cooking, sewing, and embroidery workshops, as well as organizing community events like harvest festivals and picnics.

In Turek, the “Górnik” Honorary Blood Donors Club celebrated its 65th anniversary at the “Barbórka” venue. The gala included local officials, such as Turek Mayor Romuald Antosik and Turek Starosta Jan Smak. Club President Jacek Hoffman highlighted the importance of blood donation, and the event featured awards for long-term activists and contributors to the promotion of voluntary blood donation.
