Please recognize the newly created KHSC logo, a tulip motif on red and white background. The section is taken from the flag, honoring the Hungarian- American community since the turn of the century, located in the President's office of the Kossuth House. This tulip is not only an archetypical Hungarian folk motif, but it also symbolizes our goal, to retain our cultural heritage through professional events and social functions.
