Focus on Fraternalism with Barbara A. House Catch the fraternal spirit! Join us for a full slate of great events this summer and fall • Hungarians in the Cleveland area were to gather June 25 for Hungarian Heritage Night at Classic Park in Eastlake, Ohio. This is always a wonderful event, especially for our children. Look for a report and photos in our next issue. • The 33rd Annual WPA Golf Tournament & Scholarship Days will be held July 15 and 16 in Midway, Pa. We will have our welcoming reception, scholarship meeting and Chinese auction on Friday, followed by golf and our wonderful barbeque on Saturday. • We also support the Calvin Synod youth camp, which this year will be held July 17 to 23. Without our assistance, the camp would not be affordable for many children. I look forward to being there this year. • The Verhovay Home Association golf outing in Harrisburg, Pa., is set for Saturday, July 30. • Bethlen Communities is also hosting their golf outing July 30 in Ligonier, Pa. • Our Hungarian Heritage Experience is set for July 31 to Aug. 6 at the Sequanota Lutheran Conference Center & Camp in Boswell, Pa. Remember to bring your bathing suit because this year we have access to a pool. We are really looking forward to gathering in our new location. This facility is only about 15 minutes from where were before in Rockwood, Pa. • Toledo, Ohio, will host its 42nd Birmingham Ethnic Festival Aug. 20 and 21. This is a festival you don't want to miss. There is something for everyone. You have many choices to satisfy your taste buds. Hope to see you there. • Our WPA Picnic returns on Saturday, Aug. 27, at the Hungarian Cultural Center of Northeastern Ohio in Hi-THE FRATERNAL DEPARTMENT is hopping. We have a very busy summer and fall planned for you. I hope you are planning to attend as many of our events as possible. Before I begin updating you on all that's happening, I have to thank Judit Ganchuk and Dora McKinsey for all their time, hard work and support. They make my longdistance work from Michigan run as smoothly as possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. • First, I must report on the Calvin Synod Conference held in May. Congratulations to newly-elected Bishop Rt. Rev. Dr. Csaba Krasznai. I know you will be a wonderful, hardworking bishop. Special thanks go to outgoing Bishop Koloman Karl Ludwig for the wonderful job he has done during his term. You are both much loved. We are looking forward to the installation ceremony and banquet. • We are already making plans for the Annual Bowling Tournament for 2017. We tried to reserve the lanes at The Meadows for Kentucky Derby day, but they were already booked. So, we will again be holding our event the weekend prior to the derby. Please mark this in your 2017 calendar. • Branch 18's Join Hands Day project is a pleasant memory. I hope all of you are planning similar projects as there are so many opportunities to help. We are a fraternal benefit society. This is what we do. Remember, this is a matching funds event up to $500. No excuses. • Ursula Markovits and I attended the 41st Hungarian Festival in New Brunswick, N.J., on June 4. More about this in report.
