No. 12 DECEMBER 2011 This year's twelfth, Christmas, issue of Matica magazine came off the presses in mid December, as usual featuring an abundance of fascinating articles from the homeland and abroad. In the latest issue read all about the elections for Croatian Parliament in late 2011, about the 40th anniversary of Vienna's own Kolo-Slavuj Gradišće Croat folklore ensemble, the CrOz Australian-Croatian festival staged in Melbourne, the celebration of major Croatian anniversaries in Rotterdam and much more. We also feature interviews with maestro Siniša Leopold, the conductor of the Croatian Radio & Television Tamburitza Orchestra and with Mijo Marić, the president of the German chapter of the Croatian World Congress.

Dear Matica magazine readers in the homeland and around the world, it is in your interest and ours that our monthly records every notable event from the places you live. We invite you, therefore, to work with us. Write us news items and send photos—work with us in creating the content of Matica magazine, by writing about what you would like to read about. Let's make Matica a real bridge of Croatian unity. The next issue of Matica will be available in February as an expanded winter double issue for the months of January and February. The Matica editorial board joins CHF director Katarina Fuček in extending our best wishes this Christmas. You can read her season's greetings in this issue. Merry Christmas and all the best in 2012!
