Executive Editor-Publisher “MISS MAGYAR USA PAGEANT” PLANNED FOR 1988 PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA — A small group of Hungarian-Americans sincerely interested in and concerned about finding effective ways and means to organize nationwide participation in and support for something meaningful with which to help enhance the public image of the Hungarian community in America and, as a unified ethnic identity, help to foster greater public knowledge of and respect for the Hungarian Heritage, recently held a private, unpublicized meeting to discuss and agree upon a practical plan of action. The two-day session, which was also attended by several members of the Hungarian Ethnic Group of Western Pennsylvania who were involved in the successful sponsorship of the “1987 Tri- State Miss Magyar Pageant,“ was held at the Hungarian-owned, Colonial Manor Restaurant in North Huntingdon. The “HUNGARIAN HERITAGE REVIEW“ and the RÁKÓCZI FOUNDATION-INTERNATIONAL were represented by Paul Pulitzer and Roger B. Goodman. The end result of this conference was that a nationwide “MISS MAGYAR USA PAGEANT“ would be programmed for July 1988, with the Hungarian Ethnic Group of Western Pennsylvania, the Rákóczi Foundation-International, and the “Hungarian Heritage Review“ as activating co-sponsors. Other Hungarian organizations, including clubs and churches, will be and are invited to participate as co-sponsors. It was further decided that, in each State where there is a Hungarian community, participating organizations, clubs, and churches would be provided with specific instructions on how to cooperate together in selecting one candidate to take part in the Pageant. In other words, there will be a “Miss Magyar“ from each State competing for the Crown of “Miss Magyar USA.“ Hungarian churches, clubs, organizations, businesses and professional services interested in participating in this nationwide effort on behalf of the Hungarian community at-large and the enhancement of the Hungarian Heritage — either as co-sponsors or as part of the statewide selection process — are cordially invited to write or phone for more detailed information. $ZuZ Paul Pulitzer, Chairman Organizing Committee JANUARY 1988 HUNGARIAN HERITAGE REVIEW 3
