the spiritof our faith, honoring our Hungarian tradition, and giving everybody the hope of a successful future. The members of the committee were Barry W. Castillo, Linda M. Castillo, Margaret F. Csóványos, Frank Dudás, William D. Hevesy, William J. Hevesy, Cynthia Jayne, George Klein, Glorilynn Klein, Irene K. Lambert, Stephen

C. Papp, Karen P. Smith, William A. Tingets, and Nancy Walsh. I purposely left the co-chairpersons for last. Marie E. Kovács, from Derby and Susan B. Britto from Bridgeport put their thoughts, their efforts, their souls and their hard work into this Anniversary Celebration for over a year. They not only succeeded, but what they did was perfect, and no professional could have done better. There are more Hungarian churches in our area that are reaching their 100th year. They should all look at this as a hallmark to their celebration. Just as a personal note I would like to mention that Marie Kovács’ daughter, Heather, was the recipient of the Mary Katona Scholarship awarded by the American Hungarian Heritage Association for her outstanding accompl ishment in her studies. A nice family to have around.

For a closing line, I would like to use the words of Chief Elder Frank A. Dudás who wrote this into the Anniversary Album: “Congratulations and Thanks to All who worked in the Lord’s vineyard the past 100 years.”

SURVEY

In the past issue we announced a survey to see where the Magyar News is delivered. We only have control over our local distribution, headed by the circulation manager Joe Stiber. Within this framework readers could find it at the Hungarian churches, in Bridgeport, Fairfield and Norwalk, also at the Hungarian travel agencies, and naturally at the Drotos Brothers Butchershop. We also have subscribers from various places in Connecticut. In no special order here is a list: New Haven, Wallingford, Bethel, Derby, Waterford, New Britain, Easton, Norwalk, Sil vermine, Fairfield, Bridgeport, Stratford, Stamford, T rumbull, Milford and Devon. The Magyar News is also sent to Springfield, NY; Homewood, IL; San Louis Obispo, CA; Elmhurst, NY; Overland Oark, WA; Richmond Hill, NY; Lakeland, FL; Colonia, NJ; Coral Springs, FL; Staunton, VA; Boynton Beach, IT.; Washington, DC; Sarasota, FL; Chicago, IL; Sutton, VT; Van Nuys, CA; Sun City West, AZ; Yonkers, NY, and Budapest, Hungary.

We are expecting more information to reach us about the place where our readers forward their copies.

We are happy that a couple of prestigious places requested the Magyar News. It is in the Permanent Collection of the Országos Széchényi Könyvtár, in Budapest. From now on it will also be in the Historical Collection of the Bridgeport Library.

Waiting to hear from you. (Editor)
