A high point of the evening is the debutante presentation; young Polish women will be escorted by members of the Kosciuszko Squadron, from the US Military Academy at West Point, and heralded by the Fanfare Squadron from the US Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point

Mme. Wanda Tomczykowska, President Emerita of The Polish Arts and Culture Foundation in San Francisco will receive the KF Medal of Recognition for her 50-year dedication in promoting Polish Heritage in the US.
