Breaking of the bread

With memberships declining and the recent sale of its building on Pulaski Street in Auburn, the Polish Falcons, Nest 74, has held on to its long-standing tradition of the annual Oplatek.

“The Oplatek is the traditional breaking of the bread,” said Jerry Prego during the annual Oplatek dinner held at the Falcon Lanes Saturday evening. “It is the night that we have our installation of officers.”

Prego, who is also the president of the Polish Falcons, Nest 74, said that although they have sold the building, the organization continues to hold its meetings and special events there.
