It's so hard to believe sum­mer is gone for 2015. What a great event the golf tournament proved to be. As always, the Home Office and the key WPA people planned and provided a weekend full of great activities. Congratulations to those who completed their week at the Hungar­ian Heritage Experience. A wonder­ful grand finale event was held on Aug. 7. The students got to show off what they learned that week. What a great success the annual Magyar Nap (Hungarian Day) was this year in Youngstown. The crowd enjoyed great food and got to listen to The Hungarians, who provided music for the afternoon. WPA is very lucky to have many great young members. Two of Branch 28's young members, Jacob and Rebecca Horvath, recently competed a mission trip to Hondu­ras. You can read more about their experience on page 2 of this issue. We are so proud of them and all our members who do good work. Best wishes to all those joining me celebrating a birthday this month. Happy anniversary to all those loving couples celebrating another year together. Special wedding congratulations go to National Director Roger and Charlotte Nagy and to Elizabeth (Check) and Nick Hadzinsky. Get well wishes go to all those not feeling up to par these days. We also extend our sincere sym­pathy to all those who have recently lost a loved one. Remember, for answers to your questions about life insurance, an­nuities or anything related to WPA, please call either Alan at 330-565- 7592 or me at 330-746-7704. Branch 34 Pittsburgh, PA by Marguerite McNelis My, my, how time does fly! Sum­mer is winding down and autumn begins on Sept. 21. Schools are back in session. Do I see some grins? Con­gratulations to our scholarship recip­ients. Enjoy this new phase of your life, but study and learn because your future depends on it. Also, re­member the WPA and its generosity. When someone does something nice for you, pay it forward. Please take a moment and pray for all our service men and women, especially those in harm's way. We had another great turnout for the golf tournament. We had fan­tastic weather, happy winners and good food. The Monte Carlo night is always enjoyable. Thank you to the Home Office for all of your help. It was so nice visiting with our old (and I don't mean agewise) friends at the Hungarian Heritage Experience, and meeting new ones. Everyone who attended said they learned a lot, socialized and had delicious meals. Thank you to every­one who helped make this event so special. For our Join Hands Day project, we made donations to the Animal Rescue League and the food bank. Special birthday wishes go out to Valerie McNelis, Nicole Healy, Gabriella Medina and everyone cel­ebrating their birthday this month. If you have any news you would like to share, please contact Andy McNelis at 412-421-6031. For infor­mation about WPA life insurance and annuity plans, please contact Branch Coordinator Maria Bistey at 412-431-6035. Branch 40 Martins Ferry, OH Branch 349 Weirton, WV by Joyce Nicholson Hello from the WPA branches in Martins Ferry and Weirton! In last month's William Penn Life, there was a timely article on the Rubik's Cube exhibit at the Museum of the American Hungarian Founda­tion in New Brunswick, N.J. As you may know, the Rubik's Cube was invented by Hungarian architect Erno Rubik and was inducted into the National Museum of Play, also known as The Strong, in Rochester, N.Y., late last year. But what continues to surprise and amaze me is that a Rubik's Cube World Championship competition exists. Who knew? This past July, the World Championship was held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and was attend­ed by "speedcubers," as they are known, from more than 40 countries. Australian-born Feliks Zemdegs won the championship after solving the Cube in the final round in just 5.69 seconds. 18 0 September 2015 0 William Penn Life
