Please join us as the New
Jersey Chapter hosts a luncheon of ethnic foods and presents the
Chapter’s “Golden Valashka Award” that honors an
individual who has made a significant contribution to
Rusyn culture. This year the award will be presented to
Richard D. Custer, Editor of The New Rusyn Times,
the principle publication of the Carpatho-Rusyn Society. After
receiving the award, Mr. Custer will discuss the Rusyn
settlement of New Jersey and his presentation will be visually
enhanced with slides. In addition his collection of materials
related to his topic will be on display. Immediately following
his address, Vychodna Dolina, a singing group from
St. Nicholas Church of Tenth Street, New York City will perform
“The Life of a Rusyn Child” in song and dance with
narration in Rusyn and English. Many of the singers are natives
of Spis County, Slovakia and perform in their native costumes.
