Board Director / Dance Coach

My name is Sandra Abendroth. I was born Sandra Bielicki on 7-8-54 in Milwaukee, WI approximately 5 miles from the Polish Falcons Nest 725. My parents Lavern and August Bielicki had 3 other children, 2 girls and 1 boy. One sister lives in Crystal Falls Michigan while my other sister lives in the neighborhood we were all raised in. My brother Bill has recently become Nest 725 Webmaster and a Board Director.

I'm Polish by descent as my mother was a Laskowski and father a Bielicki. I'm a high school graduate and started work as a Medical Assistant for an Orthopedic Surgeons office in 1972. I married in the late 1970's and became Sandra Fix and had two sons Kevin and Christopher who have been members of the Polish Falcons since birth. I was divorced and remarried in the later 1980's to become Sandra Abendroth and I'm  now an Administrative Assistant III  who has worked for the Medical College of Wisconsin for the past 23 years.

I joined the Polish Falcons of America in October 1980. Started dancing with the adult class and eventually taught the class which I continue to do today. I danced in the Zeszow Festival in Poland in 1983 and have been performing at Polish fest in Milwaukee, since the 1980's.

I've been a board director and have been the Nest recording secretary from 1994-2011.  I'm currently a Board member. I've co-chaired the PFA National Dance Competition/Exhibition in Milwaukee in 1990, and throughout the years attended; parades in Chicago and Milwaukee, National and District Meets and Conventions, co-chaired the 75th and 100th Anniversary Banquets of Nest 725 and did all the ads for the Booklet and proclamation requests as well as participate in the program.

I also co-chaired the National Ethnic Workshop held in 2008. I'm part of the physical fitness team working with the kids and adults. In 2009 I attended the District II Convention of the Polish Falcons along with co-chairing a booth for a Local Street Festival as well as a neighborhood Art Walk display. I also co-chaired Center Street Daze 2009 and 2010.  I was the awards committee chairperson in 2009 and 2010.  I am part of the awards committee 2012.  I've also become part of the steering committee 2012 and also a member of the Orlikowski Heritage Fund Award/Scholarship Committee.

The accomplishments I've achieved with the help of the Polish Falcons of America in the past 32 years have been huge. I've made friends all over the country through meets, conventions, parties, luncheons, weddings and yes even funerals. Who wouldn't want to be a member of the Polish Falcons of America.
