A great man is one who collects knowledge the way a bee collects honey and uses it to help people overcome the difficulties they endure - hunger, ignorance and disease!
- Nikola Tesla

Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.

Патријарх Иринеј у Западноамеричкој епархији

Од 4. до 9. септембра 2015. године Патријарх Иринеј је посетио Калифорнију и предвoдио прославу поводом канонизације Светог Севастијана Санфранциског и Џексонског у Катедрали Светог Стефана у Лос Анђелесу. Народ, свештеници и Владике, који су дошли из свих православних јурисдикција, нису могли сакрити велику радост поводом овог јединственог догађаја у њиховом животу. Патријарх је служио Литургију, причешћивао народ и беседио о чудесном животу новопросијавшег Светог Севастијана и рекао ”ходио је стопама Светога Саве”. После Лос Анђелеса, Патријарх је са својом великом пратњом посетио винарију ”Ополо”, као и залив Сан Франциска. На крају пута, у Њујорку, Патријарх је примио почасни докторат на Академији Св. Владимира.

Melissa Bean

United States Congresswoman

Melissa Luburic Bean (born on January 22, 1962) is an American politician of Serbian descent who was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 2004. Bean graduated from Roosevelt University and is a Democrat, representing Illinois' 8th Congressional district in the northwestern suburbs of Chicago (map). She lives in Barrington with her husband and two children. She is president of a major consulting firm.

In 2002, Bean ran against 33-year 8th District Republican incumbent Phil Crane. She lost, but gained 43% of the vote—a stunning total since she received almost no funding from the national party. The 8th had long been considered the most Republican district in the Chicago area, and according to some in all of Illinois. Bean's performance was even more stunning since the 8th had reportedly been redrawn to protect Crane. Several former Republican primary opponents and Democratic general election opponents had their homes drawn into the neighboring 10th District.

Serbian American Contributions in Amador County, California, since the Gold Rush
Milina Jovanović offers a unique compilation of individual and family immigration stories that include enormous contributions to the development of California and significant community involvement. In this version of people’s history she chronicles how Serbian Americans have strengthened community, region, state, and country through the endeavors and struggles of 150 years. This book also focuses on women’s contributions that are too often overlooked. Ms. Jovanović’s study reveals that Jackson not only remains an original and symbolic home to Serbian Americans and Serbian Orthodox religion, but also an oasis where the Serbian community has preserved its positive reputation and social influence.
