WILLIAM PENN LIFE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE WILLIAM PENN ASSOCIATION Volume 27 May 1992 Number 5 National President E. E. Vargo and his wife Betty met former President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn during a visit in early March to the international headquarters of Habitat for Humanity in Americus, Ga. The Vargos were in Americus to learn more about a Habitat home building project in Hungary. "The volunteers at Habitat really make a difference in people's lives, both in the U.S. and abroad," President Vargo said. "The William Penn Association encourages all its members and branches to support the work of Habitat and to get involved with the Habitat affiliate nearest them.” More information on the Hungarian project will appear in future issues. Carter praises fraternals as they ready for home building project Members sign up for 9th annual golf tournament Fraternalists nationwide are join­ing hands with Habitate for Humanity to finance and build two homes in Nashville, Tenn., during Fraternal Week June 8 to 13. NFCA President Jacqueline So­­bania said, in proposing the "Raise the Roof” project, "My dream for a true fraternal week experience would take on a spe­cial meaning if we could achieve 100 percent participation by our member-societies and state con­gresses.” The NFCA sponsored homes will be built on two lots across from a middle school in south Nashville. Each three bedroom ranch style house has 1,100 square feet of living area, com­plete with range and refrigerator. The Nashville Habitat Family Selection Committee reviewed 100 applicants before selecting two NFCA homeowner families. The need for a decent house was the most important criterion. A stable employment history and family cohesiveness were other key considerations. The families selected were Ms. Janice Polk and her children, Ashlee, Alyssa and Jason, and Ms. Kim Hayes and her children, Quanita, Frankie and Frank. "1 just can’t believe it. I’m going to have a home of my own,” said Ms. Hayes in a recent phone interview. "It means a lot to me and my kids. The best thing about having a home is my kids will have a chance at a better life. "It is true—if you try, you can improve and people will want to help you.” C.ontinued on Page 2 PITTSBURGH — The fun and excitement of the William Penn’s national golf tournament is only weeks away.
