With me, I have Kamil Mozwecz, Arthur Zadrozny, and Daniel Pogorzelski. And if you're wondering where all of those letters in the alphabet came from, they're here for a very special day. Today - and if you'll notice, there was a letter left on your desk from me - today is Fat Tuesday, and in celebration of Fat Tuesday, these three fine gentlemen drove down from Chicago with paczki. Now, you may be wondering what paczki is. This is a famous -- or a traditional Polish delicacy that's shared on the day before Ash Wednesday. They are located in the conference room behind the Chamber and I ask you all to join me in -- in -- in indulging in a little bit of sweet deliciousness before Ash Wednesday tomorrow. But, more importantly, these are brought as part of a fundraiser for a social service agency that has been in operation since 1922 on the northwest side of the City of Chicago, the Polish American Association. So please join me. Have a delicious treat. Know that you're doing good work today. And please join these -- welcome these three gentlemen and thank 'em for their long drive down, bringing the treats.
