The tribute is a joint effort by the William Penn Association and the Hungarian Reformed Federation of America. Anyone knowing of a Hungar­ian American who served in any branch of the United States mili­tary is asked to submit that vet­eran’s name and address to the committee. Additional information about each veteran’s service record would also be appreciated. Such information could include wheth­er the veteran is living or de­ceased, whether he or she was killed in action, which branch of the military and war(s) the vet­eran served in, and highest rank attained. All information gathered will be stored in a computer file at the American Hungarian Founda­tion’s Hungarian Heritage Center in New Brunswick, N.J. The in­formation would be made avail­able to those researching family histories or other pertinent topics. Meanwhile, the name and ad­dress of each veteran will be inscribed in a commemorative tribute book. The book will serve as one part of the tribute. The other part will be a large bronze plaque honoring all Hungarian American veterans.

BR1ANNE MASIROVITS Branch 14 Cleveland, OH Choir’s tour to benefit school The student choir of the Hungar­ian Reformed College in Kolozs­vár, Transylvania (Cluj, Roma­nia) will begin April 11a three­­week concert tour of the United States and Canada. All funds raised during the tour will help construct a new building to house the college. The Hungarian Reformed Col­lege in Kolozsvár is the only school in Romania operated by the Hungarian Reformed Church. It is the successor to the famous Apáczay Csere János Reformed College, which educated young minds for 400 years before it was nationalized by the communist regime in 1948. In 1990, after the fall of com­munism in Romania, the Reform­ed Church requested that the building which housed the old college be returned to the church, but the request was denied. Local authorities have said current conditions make the return of the building improbable. For now, the new college’s 400 students and 52 faculty members attend and conduct classes in rooms at other schools. The Hungarian Reformed Church in Transylvania desires to reestablish the spirit and spir­ituality of the former college. It aims to rebuild the college’s tradi­tion of strengthening its students’ identities as ethnic Hungarians in Romania and as Christians. To do so, however, requires that the new college have its own fully-equipped building. With no suitable building available, the church leadership has decided it must erect a new one. Current economic conditions and the lingering effects of four decades of communist rule have limited the church’s material and financial resources. To realize its dream, it has begun looking a­­broad for help. Part of the fund-raising plan is the North American concert tour by the school’s choir. The choir will appear in a total of 16 cities in the Northeast and Midwest, as well as eastern Canada. The tour schedule, along with phone num­bers to call for information and tickets, is as follows: April 11: New York, NY (212)734-5252 April 12: Bridgeport, CT (203) 259-6392 April 13: New Haven, CT April 14: New Brunswick, NJ (908) 545-5841 April 15: Perth Amboy, NJ (908) 442-7799 April 17: Princeton, NJ Theological Seminary April 19: Washington, DC (301)493-5036 April 21: Pittsburgh, PA (412)421-0279 April 22: Columbus, OH (614)444-1319 April 23: Holland, Ml (616) 392-9766 April 24: Grand Rapids, MI (616) 345-4556 April 25: Cleveland, OH (216)476-3736 April 26: Allen Park, MI (313)382-1001 April 28: Welland, Ontario (416) 735-0636 April 29: Toronto, Ontario (416) 444-4956 May 1-3: Montreal, Quebec (514)331-1510
