A Bi Thank You,!!, There was one glaring omission in our coverage of the 31st Annual WPA Golf Tournament & Scholarship Days in our last issue, and we wish to make up for that now. We want to gratefully acknowledge the generosity of four particular branches: Branch 18 Lincoln Park, Mich.; Branch 34 Pittsburgh, Pa.; Branch 71 Duquesne, Pa.; and Branch 352 Coraopolis, Pa. Each year, these four branches donate the latest high-tech equipment to our golf tournament's electronics raffle held during the Friday night reception. This year, they donated prizes worth a total of $2,000. We thank them for thinking of our tech-savvy guests who love these electronic prizes and for their continued support of the William Penn Fraternal Association Scholarship Foundation. Köszönjük szépen! jL&ffesLfr Mother and daughter shared a wonderful ‘Experience’ We were the first to arrive Sunday afternoon, my daughter and I, giving us ample time to settle into the environment. Dinner was paprikás csirke, my all-time favorite growing up. I told lea that it was almost as good as my mother made. She understood that it was only my "mother's hand" that was missing. All the meals were just as delicious. The weather was exceptional, reminiscent of August in Hungary. My primary purpose in attending was to learn the grammar of the language I grew up hearing. I could construct simple sentences and get the right tense, suffixes, etc., but I did not know why it was correct. By understanding the basics, it would be easier for me to speak it. I was amazed at how quickly it came flooding back to me. Within a couple of days, I found I was thinking in Hungarian. I learned some more of my ethnic history and culture in the beginner class. My daughter did very well, also, and enjoyed it. It was very good to be able to share the Experience with her as we celebrated the life of grandma. We talked about the week all the way home to Virginia. When we would stop, I would want to say "köszönöm szépen," rather than "thank you." Guess I became immersed in the Magyar language. The Experience was more about the fellowship, the fraternity. Knowing that most had attended multiple times, we were a little concerned about fitting in with the group. We needn't have worried. The staff was solicitous of our well-being and enjoyment of the event. As we got to know the individuals, we felt like we had always been part of the group-a part of the total Experience. We look forward to keeping in touch with these new-found friends and hope to continue to enjoy Magyar celebrations sponsored by William Penn Association. Viszontlátásra!
