Adult life benefit members wishing to learn the Hungarian language must make their reserva­tions for the camp by July 1. However, 17 members had al­ready registered for the work­shop as of April 15, leaving only eight spaces available. The re­maining openings will be filled on a first-come/first-served basis. The language camp will be held the week of Aug. 4 to 11 at Penn Scenic View in Trent, Pa. Instruc­tion will be offered at either a beginners or intermediate level. The level of instruction will be determined by the demands of those members expressing a sin­cere interest in attending the camp. Students will receive 25 hours of instruction focusing on practi­cal usage of the Hungarian lan­guage. With classroom space lim­ited to 25 students, each student will receive enough individual attention to ensure their compre­hension of the lesson. Limiting the class size also will allow more time for useful exercises. Classes will be held twice a day, Monday through Friday. Each day will start with breakfast followed by a morning session. After breaking for lunch, stu­dents will reconvene for an after­noon session. Following dinner each day all instructors and students will gather for enjoyable social activi­ties at which students can practice their new skills. The cost for the week is $200 per student. This price includes lodging, all meals, instruction and learning materials. Clean linens and towels will be provided. Those whose reservations are received after the 25-student limit has been reached will have the option of having their names placed on a waiting list in the order in which their reservations were received. A limited number of double rooms will be available on a first­come/ first-served basis. All other students will be housed in dormi­tory-style accommodations.

Klasnick, national secretary of the Polish Falcons of America, has been named the 1991 Frater­nalist of the Year by the Fraternal Societies of Greater Pittsburgh (FSGP). This is the highest award be­stowed upon a member by the FSGP, an association represent­ing more than 500,000 members of fraternal benefit societies in the Greater Pittsburgh area. Ms. Klasnick will receive her award at a banquet on Saturday, April 27, at the Radisson Hotel in Monroeville, Pa. A native of Pittsburgh, Ms. Klasnick began her 43-year career with the Falcons as a secretary at the national headquarters in June 1947. She was elected national secretary in 1980, becoming the first woman in the history of the Falcons to hold that office. She was decorated with a Bronze Medal and Service, Cross by the Polish Falcons of Great Britain at the 1984 Polish Falcons of America national convention in Dearborn, Mich. Ms. Klasnick has served the FSGP as second vice president (1985) and president (1986). She also served on the board of direc­tors of the Pennsylvania Fraternal Congress in 1987 and 1988. She NFCA hosts Flag Day ceremony at Ellis L Fraternalists from across the nation will join together on June 14 for a special Flag Day cere­mony and reception at Ellis Island. The event, sponsored by the National Fraternal Congress of America, will offer those present a chance to remember their heri­tage and proclaim their patriot­ism during a special observance of our flag’s birthday. The event also will culminate the NFCA’s annual observance of Fraternal Week, June 8 to 14. The William Penn Association is calling on its members in the New York City/New Jersey area to make plans to attend this exciting, once-in-a-lifetime event. The NFCA selected Ellis Island as the site for this ceremony because of its significance to frat­ernal societies. NFCA societies, particularly the ethnic societies like the William Penn, were in­strumental in raising funds for Ellis Island’s recent renovation. A special room on the island is dedicated to fraternal benefit societies. Like the flag, Ellis Island has come to symbolize hope, courage and freedom. More than 16 mil­lion immigrants passed through its doors en route to a new life in Pittsburgh Folk Festival opens May 24 PITTSBURGH — The Hungar­ian Ethnic Group of Western Pennsylvania will present a pro­gram of Hungarian music and dance as part of this year’s Pitts­burgh Folk Festival.
