Ambassador Simonyi was the keynote speaker at the annual
ball of the Hungarian Club of Chicago founded in 1922.
"I am proud to celebrate with you all the 84th
Anniversary of the oldest and largest Hungarian organization in
Chicago," said the Ambassador. I congratulate Mr. Paul Varga, the
President of the organization, every member of the Hungarian Club, and all
Hungarians and Hungarian Americans and their friends living in the area
for promoting Hungarian culture and traditions."
In the course of the evening, the winners of the
scholarship offered by the Hungarian Club were introduced to the guests
and were presented their awards. Debutantes - girls in white gowns and
boys in their tuxedos - accompanied by their parents, were also introduced
to the local Hungarian community.
