As the PAHA Annual Conference is approaching fast (http://www.polishamericanstudies.org/Program.html) I kindly ask for five minutes of your time as your action is required at this point.

Step 1: Registration

Please go to: http://www.polishamericanstudies.org/registration.html  and add to your cart at least one item (0$) for the conference registration and enter your personal information. This option will be used to print your badge. There is no registration fee for the PAHA conference. No payment is required here.

However, to attend any of the AHA sessions, book fair, receive the printed version of the program and be granted access to the AHA events participants are asked to register via the AHA web page: http://www.historians.org/annual-meeting/registration

Step 2:  Optional & Strongly Recommended: Awards Banquet

Every year we honor our Awardees with a special Ceremony followed by a Banquet. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to get together, catch up on discussions that were initiated during the conference, get to know each other better and spend some quality time with PAHA members as well as local Polonia leaders.

This time the Awards Banquet will be held on Saturday, January 9, 2016, starting at 7 p.m., at the historic Mary Mac’s Tea Room (224 Ponce De Leon Ave. NE, Atlanta, GA 30308). Mary Mac’s Tea Room opened in 1945, today it is the last of sixteen tea rooms that once dotted Atlanta in the 1940s.

After 65 years, Mary Mac's Tea Room is THE Atlanta culinary landmark, offering made-from-scratch true southern fare (like fried okra, Pot Likker, chicken pot pie, Gulf shrimp, fried green tomatoes, and the best sweet tea) served with genuine southern hospitality.

Attention: the number of seats is limited so we do strongly recommend that you, please, book your seat as soon as you find it feasible. Your early registration shall be most helpful with our event planning.  Please note that the PAHA’s Banquet Registration will be closing on December 30th, 2015. The registration fee for the Annual Awards Banquet is $50.00.
