Magyar Club of the Triangle
Welcome!
We are glad you found our pages.
We are productive citizens of the United States and grateful for the opportunities given in our new homeland. Yet, there is a common bond our “old” culture brings us together for monthly meetings.
We live in the-Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area of North Carolina, but we also have members from the Triad and from Eastern North Carolina. We have a close relationship with other Hungarian groups in North Carolina such as Elkin and Charlotte. If you are temporarily working in our area, if you have been living here for years, if you are an immigrant Hungarian or later generation, if you are part of a mixed marriage or just curious about Hungarian culture you are welcome!
The preferred language is Hungarian, but we will be glad to translate. COME, BE A PART OF IT!
We hope you'll find useful information on our pages. English and Hungarian versions of our pages are somewhat different, it is worth checking them both. If you need assistance or have suggestions please,
send them to the Editor.
If you are interested to be a club member or know someone who would like to be one please, notify our us.

Reka Pigniczky's new film is on tour from May 15, 2010 in the USA - from june 3 in Hungary. DVD is available after the tour.
This film is about growing up in an exile community in the West, developing a double-identity and becoming a hyphenated somebody. It's about learning to have two homelands at the same time, one in real life, one imagined and maintained by parents who were forced to flee. It is about the first generation children whose parents lived abroad longer than they expected to and who never assimilated.
We opened our FACEBOOK pages. You can find it under North Carolina Hungarians if you search.
This page is primarily to inform college students about our upcoming events
and to foster connecting with other Hungarian students in the USA not just in NC.
Pls. sign up and spread the news.
