1975-10-01 / 4. szám
YOUTH CAMP The Calvin Synod Youth summer camp activities were held in Camp Fairfield, Ligonier, Pa. during the week of August 11, 1975. Youth of Hungarian parents attended from many States from Connecticut to Illinois. The valuable youth program carried out by the dedicated ministers and counselors is financially supported in part by the Association because more than 60% of the 113 children attending were William Penn members. The 28th General Convention authorized the Board to continue to assist Youth Camps in the future, until such time as the Association may have its own facilities for an all summer long Youth Camp. On behalf of the Association National Secretary Albert J. Stelkovics and Field Assistant to the President Gus G. Nagy visited the youngsters at the Camp on August 12, 1975 and extended greetings on behalf of the Officers and Board. Luncheon period at Calvin Youth Camp, Camp Fairfield, Ligonier, Pa. L.R. — Rev.

Dr. John Butosi, Bishop PROJECT 76 Project ’76 of the National Fraternal Congress of America has received official recognition from the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration (ARBA). That was the message brought to more than 600 delegates attending the 89th Annual Meeting of the NFCA here September 21-24 by Delbert Black, ARBA Midwest regional director from Chicago. Black presented a Bicentennial Flag and ARBA Certificate of Official Recognition. Project ’76 involves a three-part program supported by the 99 societies which made up the NFCA. It is designed to focus attention on Stony Hill Schoolhouse, Fredonia, Wis., as the birthplace of Flag Day during America’s Bicentennial in 1976. It was at Stony Hill on June 14, 1885, that Bemard J. Cigrand led his pupils in a special tribute to a 38-star, 10-inch-high flag which was atop his desk. That was the beginning of his campaign to have a special day set aside in our nation to pay honor to our flag. It is anticipated that millions of Americans will learn more of Stony Hill and its heritage as the result of the NFCA program. Project ’76 will include programs by the 52,000 local fraternal units in their own communities as they prepare for Flag Day, June 14, 1976. Among the 600 deletes attending the 89th annual NFCA meeting from William Penn Association were Albert J. Stelkovics, Julius E. Somogyi National Treasurer and Gus G. Nagy, Field Assistant to President. Delegates to the Congress chose Dr. John Convention Banquet Pictures 17.

The June 14 date was officially proclaimed Flag Day by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916. Fraternal Week traditionally is observed that week in which Flag Day falls. The Stony Hill school property, about 30 miles north of Milwaukee, was acquired by the Wisconsin State Fraternal Congress. It established the National Fraternal Flag Day foundation, which has maintained the property. The Foundation is administering Project ’76 in cooperation with the president of the NFCA. 10
