]]> One of the nice aspects of running your own grants program is that every once in a while, you’re allowed to indulge in a little favoritism, and that’s what I’ve done this month for grant #174.

My father’s entire side of the family is Carpatho-Rusyn, so I’ve been a member of the Carpatho-Rusyn Society (C-RS) since it first launched in 1994. In fact, I recently had the honor of speaking at the society’s 20th anniversary event in Pittsburgh, and as it happens, this grants program has just reached its 14th birthday!  So I’ve decided to celebrate both together by awarding a grant to the C-RS in support of the Carpatho-Rusyn National Cultural Center in Munhall, PA. If you happen to be part Rusyn yourself, please consider joining and/or visiting soon!
