You didn't mention what part of Ct. the club is located in. Please reply with the location so that I know whether the club is reasonably accessible. Genealogy may be a good subject to generate interest. You should provide suggested possible information sources such as Ellis Island Files, Ancestry. com, U.S. National Archives, Family Archives of the Latter Day Saints, etc. Are there ethnic Hungarians in the club whose families are from locations now in Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Moravia, The Czech Republic, Moldava or the Ukraine? Hungary used to be much larger you know. Some foreign information sources from these areas may be provided or discussed as well. My wife and I have done some personal genealogy research which has proved to be quite interesting. My family came from Bihar Megye, which is now partly in Hungary and partly in Romania. Another subject which may generate interest might be Hungarian Cuisine. Members may exchange recipes, techniques, and possible even samples. There is usually a lot of interest in a good goulash, paprikash, or a strudel. You might even try Hungarian music. Cymbalom music sounds sublime. Irving Schlinger
