Beres, a young Hungarian- American now serving in the U. S. Army, says that ever since he was a child he has dreamed that one day he could compete in the Olympic Games. That day is approaching. "My goal is Seoul,” he says, referring to the XXIV Olypmic Games to be held in Seoul, South Korea in September 1988. "lam ready to take the chal­lenge of Olympic competition,” László said, who calculates his budget for this year’s intensive training, participation in domes­tic and international competi­tions, living expenses, coaching, and equipment will exceed $30,000. The William Penn Association recently contributed a monetary gift to Laszlo’s Olympic effort. "We encourage all our members to help László reach his Olympic dream,” said National President Stephen G. Danko. William C. Hanson, executive director of the United States Modern Pentathlon Association, says that László Beres’ 12 years in competition in the sport of Mod­ern Pentathlon (riding, fencing, pistol shooting, swimming, cross-country running) make him an outstanding candidate for the 1988 Olympic team. If you wish to support László in his effort, send your check payable to "U.S. Modern Pent­athlon Association - László T. Beres” and mail it to László T. Beres, 4119 Bloomdale, San Antonio, TX 78218.

Remember those who gave so much Memorial Day Monday, May 30 Family Festival scheduled for Aug. 7 WELLSBURG, WV - Summer is on its way, and that means it will soon be time for the annual Family Festival at the William Penn Home. This year’s Festival will be held on Sunday, Aug. 7, with many fun and entertaining activities for the entire family. The Festival organization com­mittee will hold its first meeting May 10, but Festival goers can count on a number of their favor­ite activities to return this year. There will be plenty of games of chance, raffles, special child­ren’s games, folk art displays and live entertainment. The day will also feature tours of the Home for the elderly, swimming at the Home’s large in­­ground pool and hayrides around the Home’s 535 acres. The Festival will open with the traditional field Mass, after which guests may play games, stroll amongst the trees or enjoy some good food, including Hungarian dishes and the popular barbeque chicken dinner. Organizers are working with Wellsburg-area churches to in­crease local support for and atten­dance at the Festival. "A number of churches in the area have already expressed their interest in helping us,” said Paul Kovács, administrator of the Home. "There’s a possibility that some of the churches may set up their own booths this year.” All proceeds from the Festival will benefit the Home for the elderly, he said. He also said organizers are "praying for good weather.” Last year’s Festival was shut down for more than an hour as heavy rains fell on the area. This year, organizers are con­sidering the idea of setting up a large tent in which guests could seek shelter in case of rain, Mr. Kovács said. Home seeks needed funds for cable TV WELLSBURG, WV — With the installation of its cable tele­vision system underway, the Wil­liam Penn Home is still seeking contributions to help pay for the system. "The response from Associa­tion members to our appeal has been fantastic. They have helped us to reach about 75 percent of our goal,” said Paul T. Kovács, administrator of the Home. "However, we still need about $2,000 more to cover the total costs of installation,” he said. The cable system will benefit the Home’s elderly residents by providing them with a wider vari­ety of entertainment options, he said. Current television reception at the Home is severely weakened by the Home’s location in the rolling hills of West Virginia. "There’s going to be a lot of happy people around here when this system’s finally hooked up,” he said. Recent contributions to the cable television fund include $25 from Jim Szuch of Sharon, Pa., $25 from Richard Nessler of Greensburg, Pa., and $15 from Mr. and Mrs. Paul Rujak of Weir­ton, W.Va. If you would like to help the Home reach its goal, send your contributions to Paul T. Kovács, William Penn Home, R.D. 3 Blin­ker Road, Wellsburg, W.Va. 26037. COMMANDER FODOR
