INVITATION
“While Cleveland-bound, I thought about,
The way through every mile,
In which to greet my dear old friends, Whom I ’ve missed for quite a while.”

The Hungarian Association extends an invitation to the 50h Hungarian Congress to everyone interested in issues facing the present and future of our Hungarian American community. Presentations from local, national, and international members, given primarily in the Hungarian language, are aimed at an exchange of ideas and to provide opportunities to learn more about issues of interest. The Hungarian Congress also has many English language presentations for those who are more comfortable with English as their primary language.
The Hungarian Congress is held annually during USA Thanksgiving weekend in Cleveland, OH, (Friday, November 26 through Sunday, November 28, 2010). Please note – this year we are extending a special invitation for the 50 year reunion to all who have attended the Magyar Ball or the Hungarian Congress since the beginnings.
