We enjoyed elegant traditional Polonez dance lesson lead by Jerzy Lesniak, Nowodworski Foundation president and a colorful, straight from Aladdin fairytale, belly dance performance by Noora Eshams. We could not stop dancing thanks to Krystof Medyna Band, great voice Beata Andrzejewska, soprano and with Stanislaw Kasprzyk on drums. All that kept in fast pace by our new friend Jakub Stanislawski as announcer. Special thanks to Kinga Lesniak who put together great Commemorative Journal and kept control on all what matters. Thank you, all our guests, for this unforgettable evening and Prophet Elias Greek Hall for hosting us for the first time.
