Zive naj vsi narodiKi hrepene dock at dan.
Da koder sonce hodi Prepir iz sevta bo pregnan.Ko rojak prost bo vsak Ne vrag, le sosed bomejak. Ko rojak prost bo vsak Ne vrag, le sosed bo mejak. |

The partnership between Bethlehem,
PA. UNITED STATES, and MURSKA SOBOTA, Slovenia, in EUROPE, is
the result of many years of continued friendly relationship
between the Slovenian-Americans in Bethlehem, most of whose
ancestors came from Slovenia's Murska Sobota Prekmurje (Prake-MOOR-ya)
area, and relatives, friends still living in Slovenia. The
BMSSCA, celebrated it's tenth year in existence in 2006, invites
all who share in the Slovenian-American heritage to join us as
our membership continues to grow in the twenty-first century. |
