Great Fraternal-Fest

Steve Piskor, author of "Gypsy Violins," who was conducting a book signing during the picnic. By late afternoon, the rains had stopped so guests could enjoy a hayride around the grounds of Scenic View.

We thank all our members and friends for the generosity they displayed during the picnic. The day's events raised $10,404 for the benefit of the William Penn Fraternal Association Scholarship Foundation. Nearly half of that total—$5,040—was raised by the ever-popular Chinese auction. The remainder of the funds were raised through the sale of pastries, langós, funnel cake and leftovers ($3,430); instant bingo ($535); the 50/50 raffle ($508); the sale of WPA Christmas ornaments ($20) and cookbooks ($200); various donations ($500); and proceeds from the raffle for a guitar autographed by country music star Uncle Kracker ($171). □
