PGS-MN Networking Groups
2026-01-01 - 2026-12-31
PGS-MN members have expressed an interest in meeting with other members who have similar ancestral backgrounds, both in Poland and in Minnesota.
As a result, we have established five networking groups (for members only), based on the MN areas where members currently live as well as the Missing Branches information (where members ancestors emigrated from in Poland and where they settled in MN). The participants in the five groups have found it to be a great networking opportunity with other members who have similar backgrounds.
The networking groups are held six times each year in the same months that our program meetings are held (March, April, May and September, October, November). All PGS-MN members are welcome to attend any of the groups. All of the groups determined that their meetings will be held by Zoom to provide the best access for all members, and evening hours were preferred.
One email at the beginning of each of the six months will be sent to all PGS-MN members. The email will include the Zoom links to all five networking groups that will take place in that month – all you have to do is click on the link for the meeting you are interested in on the date/time that is indicated for that group.
The Networking groups are starting up again after the holiday break. Below is the schedule for March:
