Spread the fraternal spirit with WPA Holiday Baskets

Share information about your Hungarian events with us

Help WPA preserve and promote our Hungarian cultural heritage by sharing information about upcoming Hungarian events and programs in your area. We will publish this information in William Penn Life to help spread the word and attract greater participation. By working together, we can be more successful in preserving our heritage.

Please send your information to: John E. Lovász, William Penn Association, 709 Brighton Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15233. Or, email your information to: jlovasz@ williampennassodation.org.

YOUR BRANCH can share the fraternal spirit this holiday season by participating in WPA's annual Holiday Basket program.

Just fill baskets with non-perishable foods and other items, and the Home Office will reimburse each branch $40 per basket, up to three baskets per branch. Your branch can use these funds to buy a turkey, ham or additional items to fill up each basket. Branch volunteers then deliver the baskets to families in need.

Many branches start early and deliver baskets over the Thanksgiving holiday, while others participate

during the Christmas season. Some prepare baskets during both holidays.

With your help, we can spread the joy of the holiday season this year to many families in need.

We also encourage all branches to fulfill our fraternal mission by donating food and non-perishable items to their local food bank or other family service agencies throughout the year. Let your community know WPA truly cares.

For more information on participating in this year's Holiday Basket program, call the Home Office tollfree at 1-800-848-7366.

Tarn your donation into a holiday gwtin

This holiday season, why not wish your family and friends a Merry Christmas while supporting a worthy cause. When you make a donation of at least $25 to the William Penn Fraternal Association Scholarship Foundation, we will publish your Christmas greeting in the December issue of William Penn Life. The bigger your donation, the larger your greeting:

s25 = '/16 page (approx. l7/s" x Th")

*50 = 1 /8 page (approx. 33A” x I'li")

$ 100 = 'A page (approx. 33U' x 5”)

$200 = 'li page (approx. 7'li x 5")

All donations and greetings must be at the WPA Home Office by Monday, November 10, for inclusion in the December issue. You may also submit greetings for birthdays, anniversaries and any other special occasions at any time of year, using the same rates listed above.

To place your holiday greeting, send your check and message--along with your phone number and email address-to:

WPFA Scholarship Foundation 709 Brighton Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15233

Please make your check payable to “William Penn Fraternal Association Scholarship Foundation, Inc.”

If you wish to design your own greeting, please submit your greeting as either a WORD or PDF document and email it to jlovasz@williampennassodation.org.
