Kosciuszko Heritage has organised a dinner with Prof. Wladyslaw Stepniak, the Director of the Chief National Archives (Naczelne Archiwa Państwowe) in Poland and a Member of UNESCO’s World Memory body.
Committee members Andrzej Kozek, Ursula Lang and Ernestyna Skurjat-Kozek attended the dinner, along with Adam Baniecki from the National Archives in Wroclaw.
The 2013 Kosciuszko festival has been added to the events section of the VisitNSW website.
VisitNSW is described as “the official tourism site for Destination New South Wales, a department of NSW Government”. The listing means that the festival has the potential to reach many new prospective participants, as the website attracts over 7 million visits a year.
Next year’s Kosciuszko festival will celebrate the centenary of the first Mass on Mount Kosciuszko.
The proposed festival events include a solemn Mass on the mountain, a fraternity flight, a special piano recital with a guest from the U.S., a concert, a laser show, and more.…
