The Magyar Studies of America gives a REPORT ON THE HUNGARIAN SCHOOL The Hungarian School conducted by the Magyar Studies had a successful year. Now they are starting the 2000-2001 year on October 23rd. From their annual report we learn about the school. This year the total num­ber of applicants is 84 compared to last year’s 47. They have 2 children's classes, and 4 adult classes including an embroi­dery group. 7 teachers will be conducting classes. It is worth mentioning their names:Katalin Aranyi, Erika Papp Faber, Monica Horlik, Gabriella Kaszala, Zsuzsa Lengyel, Tünde Miklós, Valeria Miklós, and Gyula Egervári In December 1999, they had a Mikulás evening for our children, and held a Christmas party where each student received an appropriate gift. The school year ended with a banquet at the Pearl of Budapest Restaurant in Fairfield. THE SCHOOL’S CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY □Following our clothing collection for the Kosovo refugees last year, this year we donated a carload of clothing for orphans in Hungary . □The school leaders organized - with­in limited means - financial support for the Lorantffy Care Center (senior residence for Hungarians in Ohio). They also spon­sored the traditional Cafe Budapest ball organized by the Pannónia American Hungarian Club. □The Board of Directors sold 16 copies of a modem volume of religious poetry to benefit a charitable cause. □The Vice-President lent a great num­ber of Hungarian-related books to the school, as a resource for our students dur­ing the school year. The students also donated a considerable number of Hungarian books to the Hungarian library at the Calvin United Church of Christ that was initiated and is run by the secretary of the school, Karolina Szabó. With the sup­port of Rev. Dr. Anthony Szilagyi they put together a March 15 program and aired it on the radio. □Our new Principal, Erika Papp Faber made an audio tape and accompany­ing booklet to serve as a learning tool. It is available at cost to the students only through Magyar Studies of America. It will be offered to the public at a fair market price. □Magyar News, with which he have useful relations, has published numerous articles dealing with Hungarian topics written by the school Principal and about the school. In accordance with our aims, our organization which fosters all things Hungarian is preparing for more effective efforts at greater Hungarian cooperation in the future. We can already point to some results on behalf of local respect and observance of some of our traditions. OUR SUPPORTERS The school has received some unex­pected donations in the course of the past teaching periods. Karoly Sziki, actor and writer in Eger, Hungary, sent books for children; they received several children's videos from Budapest and from the Pannónia Club; financial support was extended by a church in Ohio. To ease the copying problems, the owner of Aqua- Lawn, whose address the organization uses, donated a used Xerox copier, thanks to Lajos Toth. One of our students made a considerable monetary donation, which made it possible to buy a copier that pro­duces quality reproductions, including color copies. Among the kind donations to the organization is a three-speed, spindle taped, tape- recorder and many Hungarian long-playing records, from a friend in Hartford. The list of large donations includes the computer modified for Hungarian script, by the Pannónia Club. This enables the use appropriate accents. This is what the school has to say: “We must by all means mention here our friends who have supported our func­tioning until now. It is perhaps not neces­sary to emphasize that, despite our totally volunteer work, our non-profit organiza­tion has plenty of expenses. Since we teach free of charge, our budget is as limited as can possibly be. However, that may never influence our conviction that, while we accept contributions out of necessity, we do not expect or ask for them. Thanks This report would not be complete without recording on paper the gratitude which Magyar Studies owes its students, whose presence alone makes it possible for us to offer our school to the public. And last but not least, may this report be a wit­ness to that patriotic gratitude, respect and love with which the author of these lines asks the Creator for His eternally safe­guarding grace on our organization's enthusiastic, devoted, self-sacrificing teachers and officers, the pillars of Magyar Studies of America. God bless the Hungarians!"
