Communications Although I have been a member of the William Penn Association for years, branches 296 and 34, I lacked involvement. I finally decided to be more commit­ted at Christmas time— William Penn Style. With traditions that are almost one-hundred years old, American Hungarian customs are celebrated in total joy. Throughout the years I have been prompted by many William Penn Association leaders many times without truly being engaged. The reason is parti­ally justifiably simple. I am involved in many volunteer entities and organizations which are local, statewide and national. It is always the loving devoted fine spirit of a large family that gets me involved. That is how I got involved with the Hungarian Ethnic Group of Western Penn­sylvania in the year of 1976. The positions I held were: President for two terms, Pro­gram and Artistic Director for three terms, and Publicity and Display Chairman. Altogether, I have served on eighty committees. This was not particularly mentioned to brag, but instead to introduce an old saying of mine,“I have learned to serve graciously.” In other words, you have to take as well as give orders graciously. That is what has given me the capacity—auda­city to dare to be involved with another organization. I have no regrets that I got involved. I am lovingly com­mitted to learn and serve and I hope you like me, because I love you more since Christmas 1984. I have become involved because I have thoroughly evaluated this organization from top to bottom and find it to be sound, meaningful and representational. What does this mean? It means that I might not do everything to perfection or serve you to all of your antici­pations but I will try to be better and then best. All organizations are created to serve an immediate need as well as to expand through the ranks of its members who learn the process of leadership. Leadership is a quality which stems from one of two sources. It can be an innate ability or a learned process, but in either case it is a quality which we can all have more of. And only through involvement can this be accomplished In every organization that I have joined I have learned that to lead is to serve. You should not hesitate to be more active in the William Penn Association. Involve your family and friends and let them appreciate the indepth meaning of an active fraternal organization that knows your fraternal needs and are willing to serve while honestly projecting into the future. If you heard negati­visms about the organization, maybe they were not true, honest, openly fruitful or sincerely fraternal. Before the Mount Saint George visit, Mr. Sabo said, “Please write your candid impression about this.” I hope this will surely serve you. This came from true earth—just impact impulse artistic impressions of feeling good about my new family, the Fraternal Organization (W.P.A.). I have seen many happy faces and families at W.P.A. Christmas Parties from the youngest to the old. You have touched me and I am yours.

Computer Sciences Cor­poration is the “computer behind the scene”, so you can say that the William Penn Association has a com­puter, and a large group of data processing professionals to answer your questions, keep your records accurate, and provide the management of the William Penn Associa­tion with the information it needs to prosper and grow in the years ahead.

THE FOLK FESTIVAL OF 1985 A Report By Alexander Józsa Bodnár— The Publicity Director Of The Hungarian Ethnic Group Of Western Pennsylvania The 1985 Folk Festival is coming again at the Conven­tion Center. The Hungarian Ethnic Group of Western Pennsylvania is proud to announce that again on May 24 - 25 - 26 they will be par­ticipating in all necessary effects of the festival. Participation entails a lot of long devoted hours of prepar­ations, learning and love-filled days. While working together we plan to expose more of the Hungarian Heritage. For over 15 years the group has faithfully served and represented, to the best of their knowledge and talents, Western Pennsylvania and in many cases, nationally. With a limited handful of devoted people, the Folk Festival leadership expects us to be involved in three major phases. First, a major dance presentation with costumes, choreography, possible stage props and twelve minutes of program­ming. The second Phase is a display booth. It is expected to be set representationally with theme and goods that can be described as heir­looms, traditions and artifacts of ethnic representation. The third phase is a food booth. It must be decorated and dis­played in a most attractive fashion and original fresh food must be served. All of these must be prepared many days before the open­ing day, with no faults or excuses. This preparation is a responsible discipline that takes a lot out of you—but it teaches you a lot also. Moving, setting up, taking down, moving out and per­forming is a summarization of the work to be done. This is a devotion that needs more talent and more helpers. We need YOU to join and help us celebrate in a festive way. And don’t forget the Mayor’s Parade. It is always the Saturday before the Folk Festival affair. We are also considering a Táncház affair at the end of March and at the end of May. Also, on the traditional Friday of Folk Festival, or after Folk Festival we will have a late Táncház. There will be more announcements about the Táncház affair on the New Hungarian Radio Program — 73 am on your dial at 3:00 every Sunday.
