The New Jersey Chapter will host a luncheon of ethnic foods and present its “Golden Valashka” award posthumously to its former president, John Mihalasky. Accepting the award on his behalf will be his daughter, Susyn Mihalasky, who will speak about her father.  Also speaking will be John Righetti who will give a presentation on the Carpatho-Rusyn Cultural Center.
