Balogh, Mayor Tedesco said the following: “I am happy to join the members of the William Penn Fraternal Association in its observance of the 75th Anniversary of the founding of the Rákóczi Aid Association. The Rákóczi Association was organized shortly before the turn of the century by a group of pioneer Hungarian-Americans who were men of vision and devotion to their new homeland. Bridgeport is indeed indebted to these early settlers who established exemplary social and cultural standards which have been perpetuated by their children and grandchildren. The Americans of Hungarian ancestry have contributed greatly to the growth of Bridgeport. Their fine skills and talents and customs and traditions are reflected in all aspects of our community life. Bridgeport has been enriched by the priceless heritage bestowed upon the community by its citizens of Hungarian descent. Please accept my warmest congratulations for the success of your association. You have my best wishes for continued growth.” United States Senator, former Governor of Connecticut and former Health, Education and Welfare Secretary of the U. S. also sends his best wishes to the Branch and says in part: “Congratulations to you and your fellow members of William Penn Fraternal Association (Branch 1) on this your 75th Anniversary. In Bridgeport today, you are working in the spirit of the founding Fathers of the Rákóczi Aid Association, may your efforts be as fruitful in the 75 years ahead as they have been in the past.” ~~ The Honorable John Dempsey, Governor of the State of Connecticut also extends his greetings and felicitations, in a letter, to the Branch on the occasion of its 75th Anniversary celebration. All William Penn Members and friends, who wish to join in this momentous celebration should make their reservations as soon as possible, at the Eastern District Office at 279 Washington Ave., Bridgeport, Conn.
