William Penn Life, 1986 (21. évfolyam, 1-6. szám)

1986-03-01 / 2. szám

Folk Festival flucutate up to thirty. There is a listing of forty-eight major Ethnic groups in Pittsburgh, who have a lot to offer, at present, and more so in the future in Ethnic activities — especially future restauran­­tation. Since there was a lag in par­ticipants in the sixties, the Hungarian Ethnic Group of Western Pennsylvania has ex­cepted the hard task of con­­sciensously representing the Hungarian Heritage starting in the year of 68 and 69 until now. Some of the hard working organizers like Martha Toth Holmes, Adrianna Uzonyi, Ray­mond and Rita Kovacsis have died and gone at a young age sacrificing there precious time to make Hungarian Heritage thrive in Western Pennsylvan­ia. This is not to melodrama­­tize heroic sacrifices, but rather to get attention to the plight of the non-commitals. If we all take an equal sharing, caring position then maybe those four people from such a small group like ours would have lived longer, thirty-five thousand Hungarians with only seventy-five active people in the Pittsburgh area, now we are down to fifty-five from an original list of one­­hundred and thirty-five, AND NOW NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO HELP. We have ac­tively pursued and there is inkling types, and new appli­cants, but we need you too. Other Ethnics have their busi­ness people, their general pub­lic, organizations, and churches helping them; is it not time for us to do the same? This is a nationally known problem with Hungarians in the U.S.A. We have, as you have guessed, are looking for all kinds of involvement, volun­teers in cooking, dancing, arts and crafts, administrative, leadership qualities, and im­provements that benefit all. You do not have to be a Hungarian. We have many dancers and workers that just love the Heritage and want to work with us, some have demonstrated outstanding talents and leader­ship contributions. We are proud to say that from a prac­tical point of view we have helped to develop leadership, responsibility sharing, multi­talent developments, met new friends, and created new con­nections. Sometimes through volun­­teerism you can develop the best human feelings and the most gracious attitudes that build character that most reflects dignity and pride of our Heritage. Continued from page 8 column 5 I personally invite you all to come and visit us in May 1986, Pittsburgh Folk Festival, and raise the Hungarian conscious­ness to a prominent plateau of the one-hundredth anniversary of our pride fraternal, the William Penn Association. This year the Hungarian Ethnic Group will perform on Sunday, May 25,1986 — cover­ing THE THEME OF DANCE from three major regions, Rábaköz, Tizsa, Erdély. The display booth will show photos, videos, and costumes of our dancers. There will be an Ethnic bazaar section, perhaps with local and nationally created Hungarian artifacts, for sale. You will be served Hungarian food, such as: Hungarian sour cherry soup, homemade kol­bász, possibly beef rostélyos, and all kinds of pastry goodies to eat to your heart’s content, heart is content. Show us your good will by be­ing part of us. Buy Folk Festival tickets NOW.

Va., Brightens Mount St. George The Home for the Aging at Mount St. George was recently brightened with new draperies courtesy of William Penn Branch 8243, Wellsburg, W. Va. This addition of new drap­eries in the office, reception room, nursing station, and hallways has been welcomed by everyone. Branch 8243 bought the material and our own Sister Edna did a marvelous job of cutting and sewing them in record time. The cost was much less than buying them Sister Edna and President, Joseph Parker retail. The Home thanks the members and officers of Branch 8243 for their gener­osity and support. Down through the years the Home Branch has donated funds for many needed items at the Home.
