The proceeds were enough to pay off the remaining expenses on the installation of the Home’s new cable television system. "I would like to again thank all those who volunteered their time, efforts, food and other items to last year’s Festival,” Secretary Vargo said. "If we can get that same kind of support this year, our 1989 Festival will be an even greater success.” This year’s Festival will be held in early August. A specific date will be selected soon. Although no major changes to the Festival’s format are planned, several suggestions aimed at in­creasing attendance and income were made during the meeting. Those included publishing a schedule of the day’s events prior to the Festival, selling raffle tic­kets at other Association events held earlier in the year, and secur­ing local media coverage. The meeting then switched to a discussion of the national bowl­ing tournament and scholarship days, which will be held May 26 to 28 in Pittsburgh. Much of the discussion focused on the awarding of a special $10,000 prize to any William Penn member who bowls a per­fect 300 game during the tourn­ament. To be eligible for the prize, the bowler must be a life benefit member as of April 1,1989, with at least one year’s premiums paid. In the event that more than one bowler should score a 300 game, the $ 10,000 will be evenly divid­ed amongst the winners. Secretary Vargo noted that the prize money would not come out of the Association’s funds, but rather from a special insurance policy. "Our only cost would be the $300 to $400 premium on that insurance,” he said. It was also agreed that the Pittsburgh area branches would each be responsible for organizing specific aspect of the tournament, such as transportation between the hotel and bowling lanes, bowl­ers’ registration, hospitality rooms, tours of Pittsburgh, and a special raffle of bowling related prizes at the tournament banquet. The branches were also encour­aged to begin spreading the word about the William Penn Family Day to be held at Kennywood Park in West Mifflin, Pa. on Friday, July 7. ' 'This will be a day for William Penn members and their families to get together, and is not meant in any way to interfere with plans for the annual Hungarian Day at Kennywood,” Secretary Vargo--------From Page 1 said. The special Family Day will feature reduced admission, games for the children, raffles, food, and other events. The national golf tournament will be held the following week in Sharon, Pa., north of Pittsburgh. While officially designated as a Pittsburgh area event, it was agreed that the Sharon, Pa., and Youngstown, Ohio branches should be asked to assist in prep­aring for the tournament. It was also agreed that sponsor­ship of individual holes at the tournament should be made avail­able to members, branches and area businesses. For a $ 100 dona­tion, the sponsor’s name would be placed on a sign at one of the course’s 18 holes. All proceeds would go to the Association’s scholarship foundation. At the end of the meeting, Secretary Vargo thanked all those present for their attendance and invited them back for future organizational meetings. "We have a lot of work ahead of us, but with your help we will have a memorable summer of fraternal activities,” he said. Date changed for Heritage Center dinner NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ — The new Hungarian Heritage Center in New Brunswick will be dedicated and formally opened on Sunday, May 21. In January’s William Penn Life the date was incorrectly given. The ceremonies will include a gala dinner at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. For more in­formation contact the Ameri­can Hungarian Foundation at (201)846-5777. Golf tourney to feature contest PITTSBURGH - The hole-in­­one contest, which added a bit of excitement to last year’s national golf tournament, will return as part of this year’s golf tourna­ment, the Home Office recently announced. In making the announcement, National Secretary E. E. Vargo also said that the Association is seeking sponsors for each of the tournament’s 18 holes. The sixth annual tournament will be held July 14 and 15 at the Tam O’Shanter Golf Course in West Middlesex, Pa. The tourna­ment headquarters will be the nearby Sheraton Inn. Once again, the main attraction will be the hole-in-one contest. The first golfer to score an ace on the designated par 3 hole will drive home in a new car. To be eligible for the contest, a golfer must be a life benefit mem­ber of the William Penn by June 1, 1989, with at least one year’s premium paid, Secretary Vargo said. The idea for sponsoring the golf holes arose at a special frater­nal activities planning meeting (see story on Page 1). Individuals, branches or businesses can spon­sor a hole for a $100 donation. The sponsor’s name will be placed on a sign at each tee. All proceeds raised through the spon­sorship program will benefit the Association’s scholarship foun­dation, Secretary Vargo said. The popular putting contest will open the weekend on Friday evening and the 18-hole tourna­ment will be played on Saturday.

Stand and deliver A message from the National Fraternal Congress of America Greetings to all for 1989! Fraternalists in America stand at a crucial junction this year. I urge all of us to be sensitive to the political arena and our need to be united and steadfast. In the past few months as I visited various state fraternal congresses and met officers, board members, fraternalists of the year, and state legislators, I have been impressed, even overwhelmed, by the vitality, enthusiasm, and competence of our people and our organization. Our best years are ahead because in state after state, we are actively solving social problems that others only acknowledge or talk about. Please tell our story. Tell how we are leaders in the alleviation of hunger, suffering, and hardship. Tell how we educate, how we renovate, how we build, and how we aid the poor, the homeless, and the aged. These have been the hallmarks of American fraternalism throughout its history. The torch has been passed to us and we need to cheerfully pass it on. This could be our finest year ever if we have the necessary determination and commitment! Edward A* Lindell President, NFCA
