Scholars thank WPA for financial support

THANK YOU so much for providing me with a scholarship for my four years of undergraduate studies at West Virginia University. I will be graduating in May with a B.S. in exercise physiology and then attending Alderson-Broaddus College for their Physician Assistant masters program

Thanks again for your generosity.

I WANTED TO THANK YOU for the $500 scholarships that I applied for and got my freshman, sophomore, junior and senior years of college. I graduated from IUPUI in the spring of 2010 with a bachelor's degree in Spanish. I am currently employed at a health center in Indianapolis as interpreter and registration clerk.

Kathy Megyeri’s articles are excellent

I CONGRATULATE you for publishing Kathy Megyeri's article on "Hungarians, Unite in Support of WPA" in the [February 2012] issue of your magazine. This is only one of the several excellent articles I have read written by her for your publication. I greatly enjoy reading her pieces because she addresses critical issues facing the Hungarian-American community. I applaud the editors of your magazine for selecting her writings and look forward to more in the future.

It’s time to join the 2012 WPA Tour to Hungary

AS THE HOME OFFICE finalizes the details for our 2012 Trip to Hungary, now is the time for you to make your plans to join us for this exciting adventure to the Land of the Magyars. This year’s tour will depart on Sept. 21 and return Oct. 4. As with the last several tours, this year’s tour will include a visit to one of Hungary’s neighbors.

This time, guests will have the opportunity to explore one of the world’s most historic and beautiful cities, Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. According to online travel guide Wikitravel: “This magical city of bridges, cathedrals, gold-tipped towers and church domes, has been mirrored in the surface of the swan-filled Vltava River for more than ten centuries.” It rivals Budapest as one of the top travel destinations in Europe.

In addition to both a two-night stay in Prague and a four-night stay in Budapest, our tour will include visits to the Czech Republic towns of Karlovy Vary and Tele, as well as numerous Hungarian cities and sights, including Balatonfüred, Herend, the Tihany Peninsula, Szigliget (for the Harvest Festival) and the Káli basin (for a wine tasting and folklore program).

The estimated price for the tour will be approximately $3,100, but rest assured that-despite the daily fluctuations in the prices of air travel-WPA is working with travel agents both here and abroad to get the best price available. The price will include round-trip airfare from the USA to Europe, all hotel accommodations, ground transportation, breakfast daily, most lunches and dinners and all sightseeing tours listed in the itinerary.

See next month’s William Penn Life for more information, or call Endre Csornán at 1-800-848-7366, ext. 136.
