"The torch got handed down," says Rob Kwasnicki, the president of the Polish National Home of Hartford, about growing up down the street from the Hartford landmark and social club on Charter Oak Avenue in the city. Kwasnicki has plans for ongoing renovations and overhauls to the facility as well as changes and additions in programming designed to boost membership. Kwasnicki said the efforts are being made to keep the 85-year-old social club alive and help it evolve to match the changing demographics of Hartford.
