BRANCH 22—YOUNGSTOWN, OH

On Wednesday, June 6, 1990, the Cantemus Children's Choir and the Piccoli Archi Orchestra from Nyíregyháza, Hungary, performed at Powers Auditorium in Youngstown, Ohio.

The Youngstown Project has a very large turnout. There were approximately 600-650 people in attendance. 31 host families from the Youngstown area opened their homes for two nights for these children.

I would like to thank the entire committee (too numerous to mention), Joe Vince, Chairman, Elizabeth Szabó, Project Co-ordinator, Claire Maluso, Federal Plaza Director and John Camp-Yo, Area Chamber of Commerce, for an excellent job heading this project.

The City of Youngstown entered into a sister city relationship with Nyiregyhaza, Hungary, to exchange ideas and to develop a closer relationship between our cities and mayors.

This was one of our branch activities. Many members from our branch and other branches were present. Other Hungarian organizations were well represented. The program was enjoyed by all.
