Founded on October 28, 1894 the M.R Falcons are the oldest nest in Falcon District 4 .
The purpose of the Nest is the
awakening, the furthering and maintenance of the Polish National
Spirit; the encouragement of gymnastics in general and of mental
hygiene and development of exercises in particular, thereby
building up among the members, a spirit of manliness and
helpfulness of association and mutual aid.
The motto of the Nest : A sound mind
in a sound body. The Falcon salutation: "Czolem".
The original Falcon nest located at
416-420 Chapin Street in South Bend was remodeled in 1939. The
nest has since moved to new quarters on Bendix Drive, near the
Michiana Regional Airport.
