J Page 6 Fraternity- Testvériség Csángó Hungarian School Dinner Gala The American Hungarian Federation, an organization that promotes Hungarian heritage in America, sponsored a Gala Dinner October 8th, 2005 in East Brunswick, New Jersey, to support the Hungarian schools in the Csángó regions in Romania. The event raised $15,000.00. Our CFO Mr. Megyeri with his wife Kathy Gala program included the New Jersey Scouts group dressed up in traditional garbs and singing traditional songs from the region. The event honored Brother Csaba Bojté whose work helped establish eight homes for abandoned Hungarian orphans in Transylvania. His idea, to build Hungarian schools in regions where Hungarian heritage is being destroyed to maintain Hungarian communities, is supported by donations from various Hungarian cities. Vice-Chair Rev. Leslie Martin with his wife Linda Representatives from HRFA were Mr. Jules Balogh, President, Mr. Leslie Megyeri, CFO and his wife Kathy, Kati Levay, Assistant to the President, and her husband Ákos Nagy, Rev. Leslie Martin, Vice-Chairman of the Board, and his wife, Linda, Rev.
