Club’s Christmas and New Year gathering
January 10, 2026
On January 10, 2026, our Club’s Christmas and New Year gathering took place-an evening that will long remain in the memory of all who attended, filled with light, music, warmth, and a true sense of community. In the beautifully decorated home of Joanna and Andrzej Maleski, Members and Friends of the Club came together to reflect on the past year and welcome the New Year 2026 with hope and optimism. From the very threshold, one could feel the charming atmosphere, as Joanna and Andrzej Maleski opened not only the doors of their home, but above all their hearts. Their kindness and attention to every detail made the evening a genuine celebration of togetherness.
