May the promise of spring bring hope and encouragement to our country during these difficult times. Congratulations to the American Hungarian Foundation on the 46th Annual Carousel Ball. We wish you continued success and are very appreciative of your dedication to preserving the Hungarian cultural heritage in the United States. It was great to see such good attendance at the two March 15 celebration dinners at St. Stephen's Catholic Church and the Old Troy Pike Community Church. The food was delicious at both events. We wish to thank all who worked so hard to provide us with the continuation of this wonderful tradition. The Dayton Hungarian community is working well together to preserve our local Hungarian culture. We extend sincere thanks to our faithful supporters of our recent cabbage roll sale. We are happy to provide this service to our members bi-annually. It is also a great way to spread the WPA name to our non- Hungarian friends and co-workers. The next sale will be in September. The Magyar Club of Dayton will be hosting their annual spring dance on April 25 from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. at Kossuth Hall, 4475 Old Troy Pike, Dayton.
