The International Festival of Raleigh is celebrating its 28th birthday at the Raleigh Convention Center from October 4 through 6. The annual celebration of multiculturalism brings together almost 60 international groups who call the Triangle home, with ethnicities spanning the globe.
The theme for the 2013 festival is Arts, Music, and Crafts from Around the Globe, and 50+ cultures will exhibit their nation's pivotal moments among the offerings of international dance, music, kids activities, shopping and of course, food from around the world.

It has been a tradition for the Polish-American Club (PAC) of the Triangle to participate in the festival; we have participated every year since the first Festival in 1986. Our involvement includes hosting of a cultural exhibit and a sidewalk café. The Polish sidewalk café will be offering a variety of popular Polish culinary delicacies during the three-day period. In order to provide the expected service for all guests of the festival, we need plenty of volunteers to take shifts at our food booth. No special knowledge or experience is necessary for this rewarding and important task. We truly hope that you will find a couple of hours in your weekend schedule to help. It's fun and rewarding.
To volunteer in staffing the Polish sidewalk café, or cultural booth, please contact Jowita Mikołajczyk by e-mail at jowita.mikolajczyk@gmail.com or by phone, 919-448-5931. Thank you to all those that already signed up (see current schedules below). We are looking forward to hearing from others soon.
