Weekend Z Mennonitami, Chrystkowo

I want to thank my friend Wojciech Marchlewski for informing me about an event coming up this spring near Przchowka, Poland.  This is an annual event celebrating Mennonite heritage in the village of Chrystkowo, which is a couple miles south of Przechowka.  In the 17-18th Centuries, the Mennonite villagers at Chrystkowo were associated with the Przechowka congregation and some of my Ratzlaff ancestors may have lived in this very village.  This is an event sponsored by a group with which Wojciech is associated - the Friendship of the Lower Vistula.  More information and photos of past year's events can be found here and here.  This year's event will take place June 14-16.  If anyone has interest in attending the event, please contact me and I can put you in contact with Wojciech so you can find out more information.
