Our deepest condolences...


The Greenpoint Business Association wishes to extend its deepest condolences to the People of Poland, the families of the victims and the Polish community worldwide, as they mourn their great loss of April 10th.  As Greenpoint is the second largest Polish population in the United States, we are all profoundly moved by the deaths of President Lech Kaczynski, his wife Maria and other respected individuals who devoted their professional lives to the Polish people.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the worldwide Polish community and our brethren in Greenpoint. 


With deepest sympathy,

The Greenpoint Business Association (GBA)
