A choice of venison or beef “Hungarian style” On the dot, the deer keep coming every year to the gulyás (gulash) dinner at the Calvin U.C. Church to provide the venison dish to the gourmet Hungarians. It is a tradition, well appreciated and attended. The Calvin Hall in Fairfield Connecticut is filled to capacity, and most members of the congregation are busy cooking and serving. The lucky ones sit at the table, making friends and taking an oath that they will definetaly show up next year, too. It was a pleasure to see people from all walks of life and from towns of a distance. It was also nice to see Father Louis Pintye leading the group from St. Emery’s RC Church. Among people who took the microphone was Decan Ray Chervenak who brought along his wife. Sitting in a humble way in the back of the hall were the newcomer Hungarians doing a good job blending in with the “Americans”. It is known that the congregation of the Calvin Church provides authentic Hungarian food at their events. At the summer picnic they are able to serve more people, several hundred as a matter of fact, because the outdoors does not put limitation on the space. Every time the organizers make sure that in the background there is authentic Hungarian music. For serious cultural performances the church makes it possible to use the sanctuary. Coming in March the internationally known Bartók String Quartet will play classical music, (see page 7 for more information.) You should mark your calendar for the summer picnic and for the gulyás dinner. Hope to see you later in the year, and don’t forget to bring your friends. traditional and annual (folyás Dinner At the dinner: Left- Beverly Thomas helping with the Gulyás.
