POLISH AMERICAN ENGINEERS LADIES AUXILIARY

     The Ladies Auxiliary of the Polish American Engineers Association was organized on November 11, 1937. The membership of this organization is composed of wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters of engineers. The original aim of the organization was to assist the Polish American Engineers Association in knitting a closer contact with other professional organizations, to assist also in propagation of interest in the engineering field among young people, and to award scholarship to needy American engineering students of Polish descent. With the outbreak of Second World War the Ladies Auxiliary of PAEA concentrated their efforts in the humanitarian area, assisting injured Polish soldiers, orphans, veterans and displaced Persons in Europe and Far East. The Ladies Auxiliary remains an active part of the PAEA.
