Ed Clark - President

I have been a member since 1996 and have been a big fan of polka music as well as dancing and enjoying the family atmosphere that we have here. I was a board member from April 2002 until becoming Treasurer in April of 2004.

Being a professional musician myself I appreciate the talent that we have at every dance. Playing solo piano as well as having a jazz trio I never get tired of the gift of music.

Treasurer from April 2004-April 2005

Life long polka dancer and daughter of the late John (Ed) Krofchick Polka Band. I was raised with the sound of polka music in the house and continue to enjoy it. I have been a member since 1996 and have previously served as Vice President.

Mary Ann Wombwell
Membership Secretary

I have been a member of the Illinois Chapter of POLK of A sinc 1987 and held the Membership Secretary position previously for 5 years in the mid-90's.

Having been born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesota where dancing is so much a part of socializing and entertainment and being born from Austrian immigrants, I have always loved to dance, as I say, "it's in my blood."
