If you would like to donate a prize for this auction, please contact Ronda at the Home Office at I -800-848-7366, ext. I 12, or at rkonesky@wf3alife.org. Let Ronda know what type of prize you’ll be donating and if you will be delivering your prize to the Home Office prior to the auction or bringing it with you the day of the picnic. Please place a sign on the basket with the name of the basket, the donor’s name and the approximate value of the basket. All proceeds from the Chinese auction benefit the William Penn Fraternal Association Scholarship Foundation, Inc. Share information about your Hungarian events with us From the time of its founding 131 years ago, WPA has worked hard to preserve and promote our Hungarian cultural heritage. To help us fulfill this vital part of our mission, we call upon all Hungarian organizations to share information about any and all of their upcoming events and programs. We will publish this information in our monthly magazine, William Penn Life, to help spread the word and attract greater participation. By working together to promote all Hungarian events, we can be more successful in preserving our heritage for future generations. Please send information about your events to: John E. Lovász, William Penn Association, 709 Brighton Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15233. Or, better yet, you can email your information to John at jlovasz@wpalife.org.
