CAROLYN’S COMPOSITIONS
CSARDAS DANCE COMPANY TO PERFORM
IN LIGONIER, PENNSYLVANIA
Csárdás (chär-däsh) is rooted in the word Csárda, the Hungarian word for a village inn, pub or tavern—places where villagers often gathered to sing, dance and celebrate special occasions. The dances celebrated in the Csárda became known as Csárdás, or dances of the pub.
With infectious exuberance emotions and traditions are personified and shared through dance in Hungarian villages. It’s within this tradition that Richard Graber founded the Csardas Dance Company in Cleveland, Ohio as a vehicle to promote and support the art of Hungarian dance. The Csárdás reveal the richness of the Hungarian culture through a broad range of dance dialects and styles.
On March 12, 2011, the Csardas Dance Company will perform at 3:00 p. m. at the Ligonier Valley Theater in Ligonier, Pennsylvania.
The Bethlen Communities is sponsoring the event to celebrate (more…)

ALPHABET OF THE BIBLE – THE LETTER Y
This verse leads us to the larger passage of the letter of St. Paul to Titus:
1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: 2 that the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. 3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 4 that they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. 6 Young men likewise exhort to be soberminded. 7 In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, 8 sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. (Titus 2:1-8, KJV)
