THE MESSENGER Newsletter of the Kossuth Club September, 2004. Vol. 10. No. 6. Donations to Hungarian Schools in Transylvania. The Kossuth Club donated $5,000 to the Sapientia Foundation for the Hungarian University in Kolozsvár, and $2,700 to the school operated in Csíkszereda by the Archbishopric of Gyulafehérvár for scholarships to 45 Hungarian students. Ticket sales and contributors to last year’s benefit concerts made these donations possible. Hungarian Filmfestival. In June and July we organized the first Hungarian Filmfestival in Sarasota and presented three classic Hungarian films in the Selby Library for the benefit of the Kossuth Scholarship Fund. We received $675 from donations and gave $500 of that to the Hungarian Bolyai School in Szabadka as a travel grant to enable their students’ participation in an international mathematics competition in Nagybobrony.
