Rev.Gus Molnár P.O.Box 1084 177 Somerset Street New Brunswick, N.J. 08903 251 ■s a8TM' 18805 The first Meeting of the New Board of the Magyar Club President Theodore Tóth called the first meeting of our Board of directors to be held on the 22nd of June 1988. The place was the office of Wm. Köteles at PEMCO. Great memories were refreshed at the place where so many meetings were held in the past, Bill Köteles being former president on two terms and Board member on many terms. It was a very productive meeting of the officers and board of directors. Old and new business of the Club was covered on the Agenda, treasurer’s Report approved and audited. Social events for the new year were discussed in all details and will be publicized in time for all our members. The new president put the printing of the new Roster of our Club into motion. It is being prepared with names and addresses of all our paid up members. One more and big reason to send in your $20.00 membership dues in the shortest possible time. Also best time for new members to send in applications at once. The New Magyar Club Roster will be an artistically designed and attractive little Book.

Weizer,___________________________________ THE MAGYAR NATION DID YOU KNOW THAT... • The Magyar Tribes had formed a viable nation before Abraham had left Ur? • They possessed modern social and political institutions a thousand years ago and yet in the twentieth century they still live by a medieval code of chivalry. • They declared witches to be “non existent” 700 years before the Salem Witch Trials. • They had democratic Parliaments before they had chairs to sit on (the members attended on horseback 1000 years before the French Revolution). • They had book printing three years before England and a university twenty years before Germany. • Latin was still the official language of legislation in the middle of the 18th century. • During their long years of struggle they are mankind’s durable artists of survival. This is the first of a series of articles (based on The Timeless Nation by Zoltán Bodolai) to be published in future issues of the Magyar Herald. It is hoped that from them seminars can be formed to study further the history, culture, and character of the Hungarian People. Elizabeth Davis Kondorossy — Why a Magyar Club ^ of Cleveland? By Dr. John Palasics Over the past century and especially ; in the last 60 years The Hungarian community of greater Cleveland has changed from a virtually homogeneous society to a very complex one is which every facet of human endeaver is represented. Also every phase of Hungarian cultural talent as well as various degrees ' of sophistication of Hungarian culture is available. But, unfortunately many 1 people with Hungarian heritage have had little or no opportunity to learn the Hungarian language or have cultural contact. 1 The Magyar Club of Cleveland pro- ' vides a forum for expression as well as an opportunity for those who are seeking a way into Hungarian culture. The Magyar Club can also serve as a host to Hungarians and others who wish to meet with various generations of Hungarians of the greater Cleveland area. i The Magyar Club also gives recognition on behalf of the Hungarian community to outstanding visiting and other personalities who in some way have contributed greatly to Hungarian cultural endeavors. 1 In these and otherways the Magyar Club is different and your membership i bears testimony of support of these noble organizational aspirations. And last but not least The Magyar Club of 1 Cleveland is a completely independent organization and is not dependent on or subservient to extra organizational support. The membership is in controll.
