Take journey to Poland with Rotary Club

Travel and Adventure Series continues Nov. 14

After the successful launch of the 46th Travel and Adventure Series, the Rotary Club of Dundas is now preparing to take participants on a journey to Poland.

Well-known producer and narrator Charles Hartman will whisk the audience away on a fascinating journey from Gniezno, the "cradle of the Polish nation," to Gdansk, the "birthplace of Solidarity."

The trip will begin in the picturesque Sudeten Hills and will carry participants along the windswept Baltic coast beaches to the peaks of the high Tatra Mountains.

Along the way, the audience will visit quaint fishing villages, historic towns and cities, the Elblag-Ostroda Canal with its unique "water-powered slides" and Warsaw, with its beautiful Lazienki Park. Next the audience is off to Krakow to view the splendour of Renaissance Square.

Wawel Castle

This is followed by a walk to Wawel Castle, which lies above the Vistula River. Participants will visit the town of Zalicpie where its local artists have covered the buildings with colourful paintings. The journey will end with a cable-car ride up Kasprowy Mountain.

As part of this special evening, there will be a dance presentation by the Polonez Dance Ensemble. They will perform two of the five national dances of Poland -- the Kujawiak and the Oberek.

Dressed in authentic costumes imported from the Lowicz Region of Poland, it is sure to be a feast for the ears and eyes.

The presentation takes place Tuesday, Nov. 14 at 7:30 p.m. at Central Public School auditorium at the corner of Melville and Albert Street in Dundas to learn about the People of Poland. Tickets are $8 per person or $30 for five shows, including this one.
