Cultural visit

Nora Kiss, of Budapest, Hungary, paid a visit to the Toledo Birmingham neighborhood. Kiss, who is originally from Szeged, Hungary, visited Calvin United Church's Embroidery Class to meet with fellow embroiderers and see how they are preserving the Hungarian culture in Toledo. Kiss lived in Toledo as an exchange student and is now returning as a Professional Fellow on a US Department of State sponsored 4 week internship for young professionals interested in learning community organizing, citizen engagement and governance. The pillow was designed by Szoka Neni of Szeged, Hungary and embroidered by Hilde Daugherty.
