Branch 18 Lincoln Park, MI by Barbara A. House You know by now the WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal Fest was cancelled. We really gave the issue a lot of thought. But, we had so much going on. The biggest thing was preparing for the Hungarian Heritage Experience and our General Conventon. We had a very successful bowling tournament, followed by a super golf tournament. I wrote this before heading to the Experience, but I am very confident this was another successful event. Many thanks to all the returning students, cooks, teachers, Scenic View employees, National Officers and Board of Directors for all their help. Special thanks to Judit Ganchuk, Dora McKinsey, Dave Kozak and Dave Valentine for their patience and going way above and beyond in giving of their time, talent and treasure. You are all so special. Thank you. I also want to thank the many employees who gave up their Saturday off to work our golf tournament. They were Krista Broderick, Dave and Judy Chakey, Steve Charles, Judit Ganchuk, Ronda Grotefend, Mary Ann Kelly-Lovasz, John Lovász, Dora McKinsey and Suzi Robison. Thank you to Rev. Jack McKinsey for all your many prayers and blessings. As you can see, it truly does take a village to make things run so smoothly. Thank you. Thank you to all who made the July 2015 William Penn Life the best ever. Great cover, picture and stories. Welcome new members Cathy Bateson and Lori Wanat. Thanks to mom Joan Wanat.

Father Barnabas has allowed me to copy a prayer that I read in the Holy Cross weekly paper. I have changed a word here or there with Father's permission: William Penn is composed of people like me. I can help make it what it is. It will be friendly, if I am. The branches and events luill be filled, if I help fill them. It will do great work, if I work. It will make generous gifts to many causes, if I am a generous giver. It will bring others into our activities, if I invite and bring them. We will be a fraternal of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith, of compassion, charity and mercy, if I, who help make it what it is, am filled with all these things. Thank you, Father Barnabas. Of course, you members know what you want from WPA. We are here; we will always listen to you. Tell us what you would like for events. We aim to please.
