Yes, it's time once again for the Association's biggest fraternal event of the year, and we could not be more eager and excited! This will be the second year our picnic will be held at the Cultural Center, a lovely piece of property near the Cuyahoga River that has plenty of shade from the hot summer sun with its numerous trees and pavilions. The picnic will again offer many of the features our members and guests have enjoyed in the past: • all-you-can-eat delicious, homemade Hungarian food and free cold beverages for adults and children; • a wide variety of scrumptious Hungarian pastries for sale; • live music by George Bátyi and his ensemble for your listening and dancing pleasure; • a Chinese auction full of prizes sure to please every age and taste; • vendors selling Hungarian clothing, arts and crafts; • a children's area with a playground and other fun activities; and • non-stop fraternal fellowship! Tickets are available in advance and at the gate the day of the picnic. Admission is $15 for adults ($12 per adult for groups of 12 or more); and $5 for students with ID. Children under 12 are free. For tickets and more information, call the WPA Home Office toll-free at 1-800- 848-7366, ext. 149. We look forward to welcoming you and your family to Hiram Aug. 26! AS THE DAY draws nearer for the WPA Picnic, we invite all our members, branches and friends to help us prepare for this grand fraternal event by donating baked goods for our pastry booth and prizes for the Chinese auction to be held that day. The volunteers who operate the pastry booth do an outstanding job of providing a variety of delicious Hungarian sweet treats and other tasty goodies for sale to our picnic guests. The booth is so popular that the pastries sell out before the picnic closes, leaving some guests disappointed. Our goal is to please everyone who wants to buy pastries. The best way to ensure that is with your help. We ask that you either donate a favorite pastry or baked good, or if you are unable to bake yourself, make a monetary donation that will allow us to cover the cost of additional treats. If you will be either bringing a pastry donation or making a monetary donation, please contact Dora McKinsey at 1-800-848-7366, ext. 122, or at dmckinsey@wpalife.org, no later than Aug. 11. We also invite all our members, branches and friends to donate prizes for the Chinese auction. If you would like to donate a prize for this auction, please contact Ronda Konesky at the Home Office at 1-800-848-7366, ext. 112, or at rkonesky@wpalife.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 picnic or bringing it with you to Hiram the day of the picnic. Please place a sign on your prize basket listing the contents of the basket, the donor's name and the approximate total value of the prizes inside. All proceeds from both the picnic's Chinese auction and pastry booth—along with proceeds from all the day's activities—will benefit the William Penn Fraternal Association Scholarship Foundation, Inc. We thank you in advance for your generosity and support. 2 0 August 2017° WILLIAM PENN LIFE
