Branching Out with Endre Csornán Images of Fraternalism The WPA continues to spread its fraternal wings, honoring and preserving our Hungarian heritage and helping those in our community who need a little help. Pictured below are images of some of our recent fraternal activities. Three members of the WPA Board of Directors-(from left) Ronald S. Balia, William S. Vasvar/ and William J. Beroprepared dinner June 11 for families residing at the Ronald McDonald House of Pittsburgh. The house serves as a home away from home for families of seriously ill children receiving medical treatment at area hospitals. The meal featured Hungarian chicken breasts, Yukon Gold “smashed” potatoes, fresh green beans, garden salad, rolls and pound cake with fresh blueberries, strawberries and whipped cream. After spending a long day at the hospital with their children, the families truly appreciated this fine meal. Guests attending the New Brunswick Hungarian Festival June 7 learned all about our great fraternal benefit society and the fine work we do, thanks to the efforts of the wonderful members who volunteered at the WPA booth (pictured above) during the festival. Our thanks go to Chairman Stephen J. Varga, National Director William J. Bern, Secretary to the Board Frank J. Radvany and his wife Elsie, Dr. and Mrs. John Radvany, Julia Bero and Arlene and Endre Csornán. Such festivals help preserve our Hungarian heritage, and the WPA is proud to support these efforts. WPA Chairman of the Board Stephen J. Varga (right) and Secretary to the Board Frank J. Radvany laid wreaths at five monuments located in New Brunswick, N.J., June 7, honoring the memory of our fellow Hungarians. We also recently gave new life to an old resting place, planting flowers at the Verhovay monument at St Emery’s Cemetery in Connellsville, Pa. William Penn Life, July 2008 3
