About 30 inches of rain fell in three days, inundating homes and Árpádhon's Hungarian club with four feet of sewer water and petroleum. As reported in the September 2016 issue of William Penn Life, the flooding forced the club to cancel its annual Harvest Dance, its sole annual fundraiser. Now, it must find other means of raising money to meet its $7,000 annual budget. In addition, the club's refrigerator, stove, freezer and PA system all need to be replaced, bringing the total immediate need to $17,000. This amount does not include the cost of repainting the building, repairing 20 century-old chairs and completing other important restoration work. The Hungarian Human Rights Foundation has begun a fund raising effort to help the club. Because the club's owner, the Hungarian Settlement Cultural Association, receives no public assistance, they are seeking help from the Hungarian-American community to repair the flood damage. All contributions are tax-deductible and will be earmarked for the Árpádhon fund. For more information or to make a donation, contact the Hungarian Human Rights Foundation at 212-289- 5488 or email info@hhrf.org.
