PITTSBURGH. PA 15223 April 1993 Number 4 More support needed to save Heritage Center NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ — American Hungarians through­­out the country are joining the effort to save the American Hun­garian Foundation’s Hungarian Heritage Center. The Foundation needs to raise $850,000 by Sept. 15 in order to forestall foreclosure proceedings on the Heritage Center. The William Penn Association has taken a leading role in the campaign to save the Center. An urgent appeal from the William Penn’s National Officers and Board of Directors appeared on the front page of last month’s William Penn Life, and since that time many members who are proud of their Hungarian heritage have pledged their support. But more help is needed. If you have visited the Hungarian Heri­tage Center, then you know it now stands as a vital part of the American Hungarian communi­ty. You know its museum, arch­ives, library, special exhibits and sponsored programs provide an irreplaceable common ground for all American Hungarians. But, without your support, we face the loss of this common ground. So, the Association is again appealing to you and all your fellow William Penn mem­bers to join us in the fight to keep the Center open. dD mdD <3 l^( To all of our members, friends and their families we wish a Most Blessed and Happy Easterv From the National Officers, Board of Directors, Auditing Committee and Home Office Employees of the William Penn Association m> €5> Columbus prepares for golf tournament COLUMBUS, OH — With spring finally here, it’s time to get out your golf clubs and start making your plans to attend the William Penn’s 10th Annual Golf Tournament.

Fourth Hungarian Language Camp to be held Aug» 8 to 14 PITTSBURGH — The Home Of­fice is preparing the final details for the Association’s Fourth An­nual Hungarian Language Camp, to be held Aug. 8 to 14 at Penn Scenic View in Rockwood, Pa. The intense, one-week work­shop will be open to all adult life benefit members of the William Penn. However, class size will be limited to 25 students to ensure that each student receives a suffi­cient amount of individual atten­tion and assistance from the instructors. Students will receive a total of 25 hours of instruction from experienced teachers. The lan­guage instruction will be supple­mented by information on Hun­garian history, geography, culture and folk traditions. Tentative plans call for instruc­tion to be offered on both begin­ners and intermediate levels. The level (or levels) of instruction will be determined by the needs of those members expressing a sincere interest in attending the camp. Classes will be held twice a day, Monday through Friday. Each day will start with breakfast, followed by a morning session. After lunch, students will recon­vene for an afternoon session. Each evening students will gather with the instructors for dinner, after which all will be invited to participate in special social activities. The evening ac­tivities will be designed so that students will have plenty of op­portunities to practice their new language skills. The cost for the week—includ­ing six-nights lodging, all meals, instruction and materials—is only $200 per person. Clean lin­ens and towels will be provided. The deadline for reservations is July 2, 1993. Reservations will be accepted on a first-come/first-served bas­is. To reserve your spot in our camp, complete the reservation form found on Page 10 of this issue and mail it to the Home Office. Please include a $50 per person deposit with your form. The balance of the fee will be due on July 2, 1993.
