The Slovenian Museum and Archives (SMA) provides a resolution to the critical situation in the Slovenian Community of Cleveland today. We are rapidly losing our beloved ancestors, and we are faced with the real possibility of losing our ethnic history and identity as well. We are the privileged inheritors of a legacy, not only of precious pieces of rich, ethnic, artistic and linguistic works, but

also of a compelling story of migrating and thriving in America and in our City of Cleveland. We have an obligation to our ancestors, our families and to history to tell our story. Slovenian Cleveland, the largest community of Slovenians outside of
Slovenia, is now building its heart, a home, in which our rich and diversified legacy can be preserved and celebrated with our minds set on the future.

The Slovenian Museum and Archives welcomed a business delegation from Serbia last night to see the Voinovich exhibition. This was of interest to them, since Voinovich was of both Slovenian and Serbian descent.
SMA President, Dr. Greg Nosan was proud to welcome them and share the exhibit with them.

Nocoj je potekal velikanski dogodek ob otvoritvi razstave o življenju in delu Georga Vojnoviča, slovensko-ameriškega politika in povezovalca z naslovom: Skupaj zmoremo!
Po otvoritvi razstave, ki je nastala s pomočjo Globalnega Clevelanda, Vojnovičeve šole za vodje in javne storitve ter Vojnovičeve zbirke z Univerze Ohio in Slovenskega muzeja in arhiva, se je v Slovenskem narodnem domu odvil tudi forum, kjer so sodelovali Elisabeth Sullivan, Rev. dr. E. Theophilus Caviness, Timothy Cosgrove, Faith Voinovich, Michael D. Polenšek, program pa je povezoval odlični Joe Cimperman. Hvala vsem, še posebej prostovoljcem, ki ste namenili svoj čas, da se je več kot 200 ljudi lahko družilo in povezovalo.

Tonight, a major event took place at the opening of an exhibition about the life and work of George Voinovich, a Slovenian-American politician and unifier, titled: Together We Can Do It!
After the opening of the exhibition—which was created with the support of Global Cleveland, the Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Service, the Voinovich Collection from Ohio University, the Slovenian Museum & Archives, and Cleveland Kurentovanje -a forum was also held at the Slovenian National Home.
The forum featured Elisabeth Sullivan, Rev. Dr. E. Theophilus Caviness, Timothy Cosgrove, Faith Voinovich, and Michael D. Polenšek, and the program was excellently moderated by Joe Cimperman.
Thank you to everyone, especially the volunteers who dedicated their time so that more than 200 people could gather, connect, and socialize.
