Page 21 Fraternity- Testvériség them in this organization and promote HRFA. Tiger Pause was planning a fund-raiser so we decided to assist them by setting up tents, and conscession stands wherever needed. Tiger Pause was in agreement with the Federation to even set up an HRFA table to show what we offer in insurance to them and the students of Tiger Pause. Tiger Pause requested the F1RFA Life Insurance logo be put on lower right comer of the T- shirts that were for sale at the fundraiser and were worn by the workers as well. The event was a success: Joe and I had the opportunity to talk to many people about our organization. It was wonderful to be able to help those who are in need and to support our community through this event. We also would like to thank the Tiger Pause leadership for giving us the opportunity to promote HRFA.

It was on Sunday, at Saint Elijah Church’s picnic grounds and it was well advertised in all the local papers. Our members prepared 150 pounds of sausages, 75 pounds of stuffed cabbage, and pörkölt with spaetzle (nokedli) at Holy Trinity Church Hall the day before, as well as lángos (that is elephant ears) on location on the day of the picnic. We should not forget from the menu the pastries made by our ladies, and the unforgettable Marika Kovács’s nut and poppyseed rolls that were made in her home. We admire Marika’s dedication to this event as she was still limping from her foot surgery at the time the picnic took place. The dinner was priced 8 dollars. The weather was sunny and dry.
