Are you trying to reach Polish Catholics, Polish Jews or all those of Polish descent?

You can reach Polish Catholics by advertising in the church bulletins of parishes that have Polish language services. If it's a community oriented announcement then it could be included in that section of the bulletin.

Here are 5 parishes, from Western Nassau to out on the East end:
St Hedwig Parish Floral Park, NY 11001
St. Ladislaus Church - Hempstead - MyChurchAndTown.com
Home - Roman Catholic Church
Our Lady of Ostrabrama R.C. Church
Catholic Church Our Lady of Poland in Southampton

There may be more, you can scan through this list:

My thoughts are exactly as above poster. The Holy Family Ukrainian Catholic Church in Lindenhurst publishes a weekly bulletin. They have many Polish attendees or stop into Kabanos Market in Copaigue and there is a newspaper rack with Polish,Ukrainian print.

I'm not trying to ignore religions other than Catholic or to push a particular religion, just giving information on what I do know. My impression (and anyone please feel free to correct me) is that many of the recent arrivals who still speak Polish are Catholic, while Polish Jews tend to have been here a couple of generations and so speak more English and wouldn't be reached as much by Polish-language publications.

According to Wikipedia, currently 89% of Poles are Catholic and many of these are regular churchgoers, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Poland so going through Polish-language church publications is one way to reach a good number of them.

BigBlue53's information sounds like a good lead.

Oops I don't know why it took me so long to realize that there are all kinds of ads that wouldn't go well in the church bulletin
