For Starters

Visit Hungary this autumn with the WPA

THE WPA IS MAKING the final arrangements for another exciting excursion to the Land of the Magyars, and you are cordially invited to join us.

This year's trip is being planned for the fall when the weather is more temperate and the crowds lighter. We will depart on Sept. 28 from Cleveland, Detroit and Pittsburgh and return from Hungary on Oct. 13.

The trip will include for the first time a visit to Croatia and it's beautiful Istria Peninsula. We will then move on to Hungary where we will visit Lake Balaton, the Danube Bend, Eger, Gödöllő, Lillafüred, Tárd and, of course, Budapest.

All accommodations during our trip will be in four- and five-star hotels.

For more information, please contact Endre Csornán at 1-800-848-7366, ext. 136, or email Endre at ecsoman@ williampennassodation.org.

Letters

Hungarian Arts Club of Michigan appreciates WPA's support

The Hungarian Arts Club of Michigan would like to express our sincere gratitude for the generous donation of the William Penn Association to our Annual White Rose Debutant Ball. The funds will be used to further our commitment to support our yearly college scholarship award to students of Hungarian descent pursuing Fine Arts degrees.

This year marked an exceptional

event as we honored William Penn's own Barbara House, as honorary Chairperson for all her contributions to the Michigan Hungarian community and our scholarship winner, aspiring opera singer Lara Semetko, whose great grandfather Karoly was the secretary for Branch 119 of the Rákóczi Aid Association and he attended the 11th Quadrennial Convention in Connecticut.

We were so thrilled to see the Wiliam Penn National Directors attend our event and cannot thank you enough for your generosity and support.

Sincerely,

Tomas Markovits

President

The Hungarian Arts Club of Michigan Ypsilanti, Mich.
