Polish National Alliance
Council 21 Baltimore
Welcome to Polish National Alliance. We are a fraternal nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion and preservation of Polish and Polish-American culture and values.
Dear Friends,
Recently at PNA, several water pipes burst in the upper levels of the building. Additional water entered the building as a result of a water pipe break under Bethel Street. Many areas of the building have suffered damage and will need restoration.
For these reasons, it is NOT possible to have any activities in the building until we are able to repair and renovate. We will keep you informed via email and Facebook.
Some PNA activities will continue at Polish Home Club thanks to the generosity and kindness of our great friends at Polish Home.
Thank you to all of you who have expressed concern!! We appreciate you.

After the walk, participants joined us at the Lounge at PNA for food and soft drinks, and adults will receive a coupon for one free adult beverage. Participants also received a walk t-shirt.
This casual, fun walk was FREE for PNA Members, and just $10 for everyone else. Join our email list to be alerted to to upcoming events like this one: http://pnacouncil21.com/pna-contact/.

About PNA
Since 1880, when the Polish National Alliance, or PNA, began providing insurance protection for Americans of Polish origins and ancestry, their families, friends and neighbors, nearly two million men, women and children across our land have benefited from belonging to our great PNA family — both by owning quality life insurance and by taking advantage of our many excellent fraternal programs.
What is more, today the PNA is a fraternal insurance benefit society that is not just for Americans of Polish heritage. It is open to everyone.
Brief History
The Polish National Alliance of the United States of North America, popularly known today as the PNA or the Alliance, is the largest of all ethnically-based fraternal insurance benefit societies in this country. On December 31, 1996 the PNA counted 230,359 life insurance and 6,873 annuity holders in its ranks. Its members held a total of $721,660,990 of insurance with the PNA. The PNA is licensed to do business in 37 states and the District of Columbia. The total assets of the Polish National Alliance are $304,805,343.
