We believe, such an approach allows us to celebrate and share our own unique traditions, languages, and histories to enrich the social and cultural life of the residents of Central PA. Organizations like the SMA play an important role in the creation of a plural United States as we continue to live in the globally interconnected world of the twenty first century.
