Cln Cpen 3mutation Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Hungary’s Fight for Freedom Dear Friends and Fellow Hungarians: This year, 2006, represents an important anniversary for us. Fifty years ago, on October 23,1956, a yearning for freedom flared in the hearts of the Hungarians--a yearning stronger than their fear of tyranny. For many of us, the heroic days and crushing bloodbath that followed are only history, and the memory of those glorious and tragic days obliges us to action today. After 50 years, every freedom-loving Hungarian should lift up high our national colors and make it known worldwide that the spirit of freedom manifested so clearly in 1956 still lives and will flourish in the future as long as the desire to be free exists in people’s hearts and minds. We ask our fellow Hungarians, members of our churches and organizations, businesses, and all those who treasure the legacy of the 1956 uprising to please accept our invitation to a GRAND CELEBRATION commemorating the heroes and events of Hungary’s fight for freedom. The celebration will be held on Saturday, October 21, 2006, at Penn Scenic View in Rockwood, Pennsylvania, beginning at 4:00 p.m. The celebration will include an open bar, dinner, live music, dancing and special presentations. The menu will include chicken paprikas, dumplings, stuffed cabbage, breaded pork chops, beef pörkölt, potatoes, cucumber salad, pastries, pogacsa, coffee and tea. Cost is $40 per person. For reservations, please call Endre Csornán at 1-800-848-7366, Ext. 136.
