NAPERVILLE, IL — The Associ­ation and other member societies of the National Fraternal Con­gress of America (NFCA) are preparing for the celebration of Fraternal Week, April 23 to 29. Fraternal Week is a time set aside each year to promote the many accomplishments of frater­nal benefit societies and their members. This year, the week was set to coincide with the observation of National Volunteer Week be­cause much of what fraternal societies do is tied into the volun­teer spirit of their members. Some people are not aware of the extensive community services provided by fraternals. During 1993, for example, members of fraternals belonging to the NFCA performed more than 11 million service projects and contributed 67 million hours of volunteer service. The following information will help explain how fraternal benefit societies have developed into a vital volunteer force dedicated to strengthening America. What are fraternal benefit soci­eties? Fraternal benefit societies are a unique combination of busi­ness and volunteerism operated on a not-for-profit basis. The financial security provided by fraternal insurance is a key com­ponent of all fraternal benefit societies. Members are dedicated to helping others and share com­mon ethnic, religious or vocation­al backgrounds. Fraternals main­tain a rich tradition of conducting service programs for individuals, communities and the nation. What is the mission of fraternal benefit societies? The mission of fraternal benefit societies is to provide financial security to members and to assist members in helping themselves and others through charitable activities. What do fraternal benefit soci­eties do! Fraternal benefit societies respond to the needs of members and the community at large. They protect human values, emphasize good citizenship and provide fel­lowship for members. Fraternals also pay attention to the needs of today’s families. They offer educational programs to help combat substance abuse, provide support for latch-key children, promote wellness and child safety and alleviate child abuse. These programs provide needed resources and service to individuals, community groups and institutions. Among the many outreach pro­jects in which fraternals partici­pate are: Child Help, Care and Share, American Red Cross disas­ter relief, Earth Care, American Cancer Society fund drives, Heart Fund and Special Olympics. NFCA member societies con­tributed about $5.5 million to victims of the floods in the Midwest. In an effort to provide afford­able housing, NFCA member Students sought for annual language camp PITTSBURGH — The Associa­tion invites all life-benefit mem­bers age 18 and older to our annual Hungarian Language Camp, to be held July 30 to Aug. 5 at our beautiful facilities at Penn Scenic View in Rockwood, Pa. Prior knowledge of the Hungar­ian language is not required. All you need to attend is a willingness to learn and $200 to cover the costs for your instruction, room and board. Plans call for instruction to be offered at both beginners and intermediate levels. The level (or levels) of instruction will be de­termined by the needs of those members who register for the camp. Students will receive 25 hours of instruction in practical usage of the Hungarian language. The workshop will be limited to 25 students in order to allow for greater individual attention and more opportunities for useful exercises. The week will begin Sunday, July 30, with registration for all students. Classes will be held Monday through Friday, with morning and afternoon instruc­tional sessions being held each day. After dinner each day, all stu­dents and instructors will gather for special social activities, offer­ing students more chances to practice what they learned in class. Your $200 per person fee cov­ers all lodging, meals, instruction and workshop materials. Clean linen and towels will be provided. Reservations will be accepted on a first-come/first-served basis. Those whose reservations are received after the class has been filled will have the option of being 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.
