Next Deadline February 15 Instruction will be offered at either a beginners or an intermediate level. The level of instruction will be determined by the demands of those members expressing a sincere interest in attending the camp. Participants will receive a total of 25 hours of practical instruction from experienced teachers. The workshop will be limited to 25 students, thus allowing for greater individual attention for each student and more opportunity for useful exercises. The week will begin Sunday, Aug. 4, with registration of all students at Scenic View. Students will be asked to arrive Sunday afternoon because classes will begin early Monday morning. From Monday through Friday, students will start their day with breakfast then meet for instruction. After breaking for lunch, students will reconvene for an afternoon instructional session. After dinner each day, all instructors and students will gather for enjoyable social activities, offering students more chances to practice their new skills. The camp will conclude on Saturday, Aug. 10. The cost for the week—including lodging, all meals, instruction and workshop materials—is only $200 per person. Clean linens and towels will be provided. Deadline for reservations is July 1, 1991. Reservations will be taken on a first-come/first served basis. Continued on Page 3 As our Association prepares to celebrate its 105th anniversary on Feb. 21, one can only wonder what the Hungarian immigrants who founded our society would think of it today. The 13 coal miners who signed our charter in Hazleton, Pa., in 1886 did so with two ideas in mind: one, they wanted to provide financial assistance to the families of deceased members and to fellow members disabled in the mines; and, two, they wanted to develop a sense of community amongst Hungarian Americans. Over the last 105 years, our society has maintained and expanded upon those founding principles. Today, the William Penn is recognized as a solid member of the fraternal insurance industry, serving 61,000 members and maintaining assets of nearly $ 100 million. It is a staunch supporter of the American Hungarian community and a leading promoter of Hungarian culture in America. It also is recognized as a benevolent and charitable member of the communities in which it has branches. When it comes to providing finanical security for its members, few can match the range of products and services offered by the William Penn. Our society offers a variety of life insurance plans which allow members to build a plan of financial protection for their families. Our insurance plans also offer members extra benefits—such as assistance to orphaned children of deceased members—that most other insurers don’t offer. William Penn members can prepare for their retirement years by enrolling in one our Association’s annuity plans. Our highly rated annuities have consistently paid higher interest rates than many other plans. Pennsylvania members also can build their savings by joining the William Penn Association Federal Credit Union. Since becoming part of the William Penn family in 1988, our Credit Union has helped members pay unruly bills, Continued on Page 2 Officiol Notice 32nd General Convention In accordance with the By-Laws, Article II, Section 202, the Board of Directors hereby gives notice that a regular meeting of the General Convention of the William Penn Association will convene on September 9, 10 and 11, 1991.
