Bethlen Almanac 2001 (Ligonier)
The Hungarian Reformed Federation of America
The scouts, under the lively guidance of Krisztina Székely, presented a delightful program, enchanting young and old with their songs and dances. Ralph Bohn from the Home Office entertained us with beautiful music on his piano accordion. We also had a drawing with nice prizes to be won. A very good time was had by all. There are not enough words to express our appreciation to Stephen Benedek for his warm hospitality and to his staff for their help.
