Gifts like yours enable us to continue our mission of providing a safe, affordable and comfortable place for families to stay while seeking medical care for their children. We provide each family with a small private apartment, and our top floor offers warm communal spaces, including a large well-equipped kitchen, a living room, library, computer area, play area and a dining/ activity room frequently used for parties, games and arts and crafts in addition to dinners. We hope our hospitality allows each family to forget their everyday worries and concentrate on the health and healing of their child. We always strive to do more for the families we serve and to offer them moments of fun and joy during their stay. Your support of our charity makes you a part of all our endeavors. Thank you again for thinking of the Ronald McDonald House and our families. Your donation is truly appreciated by us and by those who benefit from our services-the children, parents and guardians who stay here. Eleanor B. Reigel Executive Director Ronald McDonald House Charities of Pittsburgh ON BEHALF of the families of the Ronald McDonald House of Pittsburgh, I would like to thank you and the members of William Penn Association for the food donation (six turkey dinners with all the trimmings, including six pies). Our families certainly appreciate your generosity. We are grateful to you, our friends, who help us to provide a warm and caring environment for our guests. Your contribution helps us maintain a "home away from home" for the families of seriously ill children receiving medical treatment using our area hospitals. It is only with support from the community that we are able to continue to provide a home for all families regardless of their ability to pay. Nanci Twardowski Programs & Services Director Ronald McDonald House Charities of Pittsburgh Article generates interest in Louisiana Hungarian settlement KATHY MEGYERI PENNED a wonderful article on Arpadhon, La., which appeared in the September 2016 issue. We called and asked for extra copies of the September issue of William Penn Life magazine and they sent what they had. The article was great, and we enjoyed it very much. As a result of this article, we have received three calls from folks who have read the article. One is donating $10,000 worth of Herend porcelain with glass cabinet. Another lady is ordering two books and giving a donation. Another is ordering a book. So, many thanks for letting people know we exist and helping us to inform the world about our endeavors here in Arpadhon. We plan to open the first Hungarian Settlement Historical Museum in our area soon. Kathy is to be commended for the fine article. Many thanks again.
