Volume 22 August 1987 _____ Number 8 Detroit sees 'hot’ golfing MONROE, MI — When you hear someone say "some like it hot,” he or she could be referring to Dave Wahl, George Vargo and Dottie Constantino. While the temperature soared into the 90s on the Raisin River Golf Club, the three William Penn golfers kept their cool to capture the major categories at the Fourth Annual National Golf Tournament. Mrs. Constantino was the tournament’s standout performer, winning the women’s low gross, low net and Calloway titles with scores of 85, 71 and 71 respectively. Mr. Vargo etched his name in the William Penn record books during the July 11 tournament. He shot a low net of 62, the lowest net score in the golf tournament’s brief history. And Mr. Wahl, who scored low gross victories in the first three Association tournaments, garnered a fourth low gross title with a round of 66. These three were among 115 members and friends of the Association who played in the 18-hole event. Despite the oppressive heat, all of the golfers enjoyed the fun, fellowship and fraternal spirit of the annual outing. The weekend for many participants began Friday afternoon at the official hospitality room in the tournament’s headquarters, --------------------See 'Golf’ Page 3 What’s cooking?

Once again, the Festival will feature something to please every taste. There will be plenty of delicious American and Hungarian food, games of chance, children’s games, live music and fun and exciting activities for people of all ages. Admission to the Festival is free, and there will be plenty of free parking available on the Festival grounds. All proceeds from the Festival will benefit our Mount St. George Home for the Elderly. So while you and your family are enjoying a relaxing day, you will be helping to make sure our aging members can enjoy their retirement years in comfort and love. A coffee and cake stand will open at 10:00 a.m. to serve those arriving early. At 11:00, the day’s events will officially get under way with the traditional field Mass, celebrated by Father Fred Becker, chaplain of the Home. Following Mass the grounds will be open for you to enjoy. If you’re hungry, you can choose from barbeque chicken, hot sausage, hot dogs, hamburgers, funnel cakes or a variety of Hungarian foods. You can wash your meal down with your choice of coffee, soda pop or beer. Throughout the day you can try your luck at bingo, instant bingo, the plush animal stand, the "Big Wheel” and the "Horse Race” wheel. You can take a chance on any or all of the three special raffles that will be held that day. You could win either a basket of cheer, a place on our Memorial Honor Roll plaque or one of 10 handpainted centennial commemorative plates. You can also view and purchase some of the beautiful handmade articles created by the residents at our Home. Marianna Halassy, the folk artist in residence at Camp Hungária, will be presenting demonstrations in Hungarian folk arts and crafts. For the children, the Festival will again feature a series of fun games and activities designed exclusively for our young festivalgoers beginning around 2:00 p.m. You can also join your children for a hayride around our wonderful 535-acre facility, or you can tour our historic Home and see the good work your contributions are supporting.
