Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Come to the next lecture at the Associated Polish Home, 9150 Academy Road, at 3 pm. For the Zoom option, email the group first, since the site does not say how to get the link..

You can just show up.

What to expect

A lecture is one talk on one topic, starting at 3 pm. Topics run from Polish history and art to medicine and technology, and each lecture has a named speaker. The site does not say how long a talk runs or whether there is time for questions.

Tips for your first visit

  • Check the lectures page for the month's talk, and whether it is in person or on Zoom.
  • The site does not describe parking or nearby transit for the Associated Polish Home, so plan your route ahead of time.
  • Donations are welcome and tax deductible, but you do not need to give to attend.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The site says all lectures are free and open to everyone, and it gives the address, the lecture times and a contact email..
