WPA Hungarian Language Camp set for August 4 to 10

PITTSBURGH — The Association invites all life-benefit members age 18 and older to our annual Hungarian Language Camp, to be held Aug. 4 to 10 at our beautiful facilities at Penn Scenic View in Rockwood, Pa.

Prior knowledge of the Hungarian language is not required. All you need 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, Aug. 4, 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 linens and towels will be provided.

Reservations will be accepted on a first-come/first-served

basis. Those who reservations are received after the class has been filled may choose to be placed on a waiting list in the order in which reservations are received.

A limited number of double rooms will be available. All other students will be housed in dormitory style accommodations.

To reserve your place in our camp, complete the reservation form found below and send it to the Home Office by July 1. A deposit of $50 per person must accompany your reservation form.

The balance of the fee will be due July 1.

For more information about our language camp, please call the Home Office, toll-free, at 1- 800-848-PENN (7366).

Let's call this one, "Variations on a Theme”:

M is for your Meatloaf, the most comforting of all comfort foods. One bite and I know I’m home.

O is for the Onions you seem to chop by the dozens. My eyes still burn from the time you made the sauce for the church spaghetti dinner.

T is for your Tolerance, which I tested frequently while we worked together in your kitchen. Never has one taught another so much while saying so little.

H is for your Hurka. Who would ever guess that such exquisite pleasure could be packed into a sausage casing?

E is for your little Eccentricities, which in my younger days were a source of embarrassment, but now, as I've grown older (and, I'd like to think, wiser) are a source of pride.

R is for the Recipes you lovingly shared with me: recipes for cooking and for living which gave my life direction and for which I may never be able to adequately thank you.

Put it all together, and what do you have? One helluva lady.

Yes, Mother’s Day is May 12, the one day set aside each year to honor mothers. (Silly me: I thought the Fourth Commandment applied every day.) So, the natural question is: What should we do for Mama for Mother's Day? Here’s two lists of sure-fire ways to make Mama happy, one for children and one for adults.

For Kids

1. Clean up your room.

2. Sit up straight.

3. Stop hitting your sister.

For Grown Ups

1 Clean up your room.

2. Sit up straight.

3. Stop hitting your sister

Of course, one of the best ways to make your mother happy is to treat her to dinner. If you're going to celebrate at home, try the following recipe for Esterhazy Steak.
