St. Charles Parish Polka Party 1999

On January 30, 1999, St. Charles held its annual polka party at the American Legion hall across the street from the church. Parishioners crowded the hall to enjoy some home cooked Polish delicacies, dance the evening away, and raise money for the Houston-Ryan Scholarship Fund.

Anyone who wishes to contribute to this great cause in memory of Dina Ryan and Jane Houston can contact the School (703-527-0608). All contributions go to support St. Charles School
