of the Hungarian Eighth Tribe Foundation:

FOUNDATION MEETING SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1986

Ligonier, Pennsylvania

As we reported in previous issues, a Foundation Meeting is being planned for Saturday, August 30, 1986, to be held at the Lord Ligonier Inn (located in the center of Ligonier, behind McGinnis Hospital, on Loyalhanna Street). The meeting will startat 10:00 a.m. Please let us know if you plan to attend, so we will know how many people to expect and can plan accordingly. Hotel Reservations can be made by calling the Lord Ligonier Inn, at (412) 238-9545. Special rates for Foundation Members and all those attending Hungarian affairs during the Labor Day weekend are: Single - $32.00 Double - $35.00.

The Hungarian Eighth Tribe Foundation was first suggested in the summer of 1977 and became a reality on August 22, 1981 at the Hungarian Heritage Conference, attended by three generations of Hungarian Americans, in Ligonier, Pennsylvania. The Articles of Incorporation for a Non-Profit Organization were filed with the Department of State, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, on March 2, 1982. The Main Articles of the Charter are to: Foster the Hungarian Heritage in America; Establish and maintain a Hungarian Cultural and Educational Institute in Ligonier, Pennsylvania; etc. At the meeting we will discuss the future of the Foundation. Letters we have received thus far support its continuation. In the May-June issue, we wrote about the possibility of a Hungarian Cultural Institute in Ligonier. Rev. Paul Kovács, Administrator of the Bethlen Home, will present the plans for this. The Membership must then decide what part the Foundation will play in this effort. Are we going to be equal partners, or far-away bystanders?

Hungarian Eighth Tribe Foundation Dear Friends:

Before her death on March 1,1986, Julia Pecsenye (Detroit, Mich.) expressed a wish in her will to support the good work of the Hungarian Eighth Tribe Foundation. Accordingly, we, her daughters, are sending you the enclosed checks totaling Five Hundred dollars.

Sincerely,

Betty M. Pecsenye Detroit, Michigan Marion E. Mathews Syracuse, New York

JULY/AUGUST, 1986

(Sometimes God will furnish you with an answer, or will show the direction one should follow. As we were preparing this issue for publication, on June 30th, we received a letter with 2 checks totaling $500.00 from the daughters of the late Julia Pecsenye, Detroit, Michigan, who passed away on March 1, 1986. She was an ardent supporter of both the magazine and the Foundation for many years. It was her wish that a substantial amount be donated to the HETF in her name upon her death. The donations have been deposited in a special savings account, earmarked for the Cultural Institute. Our thanks to Betty M. Pecsenye of Detroit, Michigan and Marion E. Mathews of Syracuse, New York and their families.)

With this issue, we complete the Lessons from the Magyar Reader by Dr. Endre Sebestyén. As we stated in the last issue, those of you who are not members, or who have not financially supported the Foundation, will receive no further issues of this Newsletter. The HETF's aim is to preserve and transplant the Values of our Hungarian and Religious Heritage that our forefathers brought with them to this new land. The Foundation is not a political or religious organization and will not align itself with any Hungarian politically-oriented organization. Membership is open to any Hungarian organization that supports the aim of the Foundation and to any American of Hungarian descent, by birth or marriage. If you feel that you would like to become a Member of the Foundation, we invite you, your family and friends.
