The collection for the renovation of the historic graves at the Old Powązki Cemetery has a 45-year old tradition. For 10 years now PARE is also taking part in this event. Representatives of the association can be find in the vicinity of the grave of Stanisław Wysocki (1805-1868), the designer and main engineer of the Warsaw-Vienna Railway and can be easily recognized by their historical uniforms. This year’s collection ended with a record-breaking amount of 280 000 PLN to which our colleagues (Maria Balicka, Judyta Kurowska-Ciechańska, Paweł Mierosławski, Marek Moczulski, Andrzej Paszke, Wiesław Sitkiewicz) contributed with the amount of 7503 PLN.

During the All Souls Day, together with the PKP Group’s Foundation we organized a walk along the graves of the famous railwaymen. The walk was guided by Marek Moczulski and Maria Balicka. As this year was established as the year of Stanisław Moniuszko, we also took the opportunity to pay our respects by the grave of the composer and his family.
