July 1994, William Penn Life, Page 5 New Jersey hosts successful bowling tourney NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ — The William Penn kicked off its an­nual slate of summer activities over the Memorial Day weekend with the 51st Annual Bowling Tournament and Scholarship Days in New Jersey. About 200 bowlers from six states, plus many non-bowling guests, helped to make this event a great success. They also raised thousands of dollars for the Association’s scholarship fund and paid tribute to the memory of those who sacrificed their lives in the service of our country. The weekend started on a high note as more than 250 friendly faces gathered at the Friday night bowlers reception at the Somerset Marriott, the headquarters for the weekend. The reception began after the conclusion of the annual meeting of the William Penn Fraternal Association Scholarship Founda­tion. During the meeting a total of $11,000 was raised to help provide college scholarships for our young members. (See related story on Page 5.) By Saturday morning everyone was eager to get to Carolier Lanes in North Brunswick for the start of the tournament. National Pres­ident E. E. Vargo greeted the bowlers and wished all good luck. Then he rolled the official first ball to open the tournament. Bowlers took a few minutes to accustom themselves to the lanes, and soon the lanes were filled with the sound of rolling balls and crashing pins. By the end of the day, Toledo’s Finest from Branch 27 and Wil­liam Penn Branch 18 had cap­tured the men’s and women’s handicap team events titles, re­spectively. The William Penn Branch 18 team—Emelia Blair, Helen Feke­te, Betty Nemeth, Emma Toth (captain) and Teri Vargo—won the women’s event with a score of 2,586. Meanwhile, Toledo’s Finest— David Bodnar, Jim Deak, Andrew Demko, Robert Ivancso (captain) and Ricard E. Uldrich—took the men’s top honors with a score of 3,048.

Special tribute was paid to Staff Sergeant Frankie Z. Molnár, a Hungarian-American who was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously for his bravery during the Vietnam War. Sgt. Molnár was killed when he threw himself on top of a enemy gren­ade, thus saving the lives of a number of his comrades. Gus G. Nagy, retired National Secretary and a retired brigadier general of the U.S. Army, read the citation which accompanied Sgt. Molnar’s medal. When he concluded, a lone trumpeter played "Taps” from a distant corner of the ballroom. Bagpipers Ron Bittles and Jack Broody played the hymn "Amaz­ing Grace,” then Father Kiss and Rev. Roczey concluded the ser­vice with the benediction. Following some welcoming words from National President E. E. Vargo, the dinner guests were entertained by the sweet harmonies of the local chapter of the Sweet Adelines. Their won­derful program of popular, spir­itual and patriotic songs drew a loud ovation from the audience. After dinner, the audience en­joyed a program of Hungarian music written by Bartók and other composers presented by the Garfield Hungarian Chorus. The official program conclud­ed with a door prize giveaway and benefit raffle. Many guests stayed to dance to the Hungarian music of the Steven Chubak Orchestra. The Association thanks all our bowlers, members and friends who participated in the week­end’s activities and helped to make it special for all. We also extend our thanks to the manage­ment and staffs of Carolier Lanes and the Somerset Marriott for providing us with fine facilities and service. Finally, we extend special thanks and appreciation to Ste­phen J. Ivancso Sr., Robert A. Ivancso, Mary Ivancso, the bowl­ing committee and the Home Office staff who worked hard to make this weekend a success.
