Up & Coming Highlights 1956 Commemorative Program October 30, 11 a.m. in Bethlen Home's Linden Room On October 23, 1956 in Hungary, a march led by mostly college students sparked a revolution. The call for freedom from oppression was heard around the world. What followed was an assault on Budapest by Russian artillery. Soon, Hungarians turned toward the Austrian border for a life of freedom. During the month of October, Hungarians remember the tragic events of 1956. There will be many events in various Hungarian communities to support, including this one at Bethlen Communities. Our Commemorative Program is followed by a luncheon. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend. That's Not My Job by Ruth Miller, Ligonier Gardens resident This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have. Resident Art Exhibit Bethlen Communities is proud to sponsor a special exhibit, featuring works of resident Csaba Kur, during the month of October. The exhibit will include paintings, charcoals and other artwork focusing on the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. Look for more information on location and time in the coming month. Operation Christmas Child Bethlen Communities and HRFA Branch 198 are sponsoring a Christmas shoebox project during September and October. Friends and staff are asked to donate small items suitable for children, such as tablets, candy, combs, bouncy balls and socks. These items will be placed in a shoebox (we need these, too) and distributed by Cultural Center staff in November. Please contact 724-238-2032 with questions. Items may be dropped off at Ligonier Gardens or Bethlen Home. Give the Gift of Sight It is the time of year when Ligonier Gardens and Bethlen Home collect old eyeglasses for Sight Night. Sight Night is part of a national collection drive sponsored by the LensCrafters Foundation in conjunction with Lions Clubs International. Eyeglasses will be recycled and handdelivered to people in developing countries. Last year, we collected over 100 pairs of glasses! A pumpkin collection basket will be at the front desks of both facilities during the month of October. "We are Doers of the Word." James 1:22,25 3
