Articles of Incorporation were filed with the Department of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on March 9, 1982, for the purpose of obtaining a Certificate of Incorporation for a proposed non-profit corporation. The Charter was approved. The name of the Corporation is HUNGARIAN EIGHTH TRIBE FOUNDATION, having its registered office in Ligonier, PA 15658. It is organized under the Non-Profit Corporation Law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The purpose or purposes for which the Corporation is organized are: (a) Foster the Hungarian Heritage in America. (b) Establish and maintain a Hungarian Cultural and Educational Institute in Ligonier, Pennsylvania. (c) Encourage contributions toward the establishment and maintenance of the institute. (d) Publish a journal for the purpose of disseminating cultural, literary, and educational information. (e) Preserve historical materials relating to the Hungarian American Heritage. The Corporation does not contemplate pecuniary gain or profit, incidental or otherwise, to its members. The Corporation was organized and shall be operated exclusively for the purposes set above. It may promote, establish, conduct and maintain activities on its own behalf or it may contribute to or otherwise assist other corporations, organizations, or institutions on behalf of the Corporation. It may solicit and receive funds and other property, real, personal, and mixed, and interests therein, by gift, transfer, devise, or bequest. This Corporation is operated as a corporation which will qualify under and be subject to the limitations of Section 501 (c) (3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code. “TALPRA MAGYAR!’’ LADY LIBERTY NEEDS THE HELP OF HER HUNGARIAN - AMERICANS! The Polish-Americans, the German-Americans, the Italian-Americans, and many other ethnic communities in the United States have heard the call for help from “Lady Liberty” and in nationwide unity, one and inseparable, are already getting prepared to respond. The Hungarian community in America must also heed this call and get together, as one single body, to take part in this great rescue mission. The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, the symbols of what America stands for throughout the world, need our immediate help. We Hungarian-Americans must respond. Not only in memory of our Hungarian grandparents and parents, whose eyes filled with tears of joy as their ship sailed past Lady Liberty and when they debarked at Ellis Island and found a haven of freedom under the protection of these symbols, but also to help keep the torch of freedom lit forever for the world’s oppressed to follow. This is our responsibility as Hungarian-Americans! This is our duty as Hungarian-Americans! The HUNGARIAN EIGHTH TRIBE FOUNDATION was recently asked by the State of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, the fundraising division of the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Centennial Commission, which was appointed by President Reagan and is chaired by Lee A. Iacocca of the Chrysler Corporation, to help organize and launch a fundraising campaign within the Hungarian community in America to help defray some of the $230-million cost of restoring, preserving, and protecting the Statue of Liverty and Ellis Island as national monuments of great historical significance to the Nation. The HUNGARIAN EIGHTH TRIBE FOUNDATION, which is currently in the process of reorganization, has agreed to do whatever it can to help organize and implement such a nationwide campaign and in close collaboration with Hungarian clubs, organizations, churches, and interested individuals from coast-to-coast. Facing up to and meeting a challenge such as this, however, required the formation of a NATIONAL ORGANIZATION dedicated to the purpose. But, before such a NATIONAL ORGANIZATION can be formed, it is essential first to determine which Hungarian clubs, organizations, churches, and individuals would be willing to participate. Once this determination is made, a NATIONAL CONFERENCE of representatives from each, as well as interested individuals, will be convened at a convenient location to discuss the project in detail, to finalize procedures, and to elect a Board of Directors. At this NATIONAL CONFERENCE, of course, representatives from the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation will be present and act in the capacity of consultants. Meanwhile, a STEERING COMMITTEE is already being set up to help expedite matters. If your club, organization, or church - or even you as an individual - would like to take part in this great cause, please write to: Paul Pulitzer, Chairman Reorganization Committee, Hungarian Eighth Tribe Foundation; P.O.
