Branching Out with Endre Csornán WPA schedule of events for 2008 Mark your calendars now for the following WPA events, scheduled for this spring and summer: Tri-State Area Picnic and Golf Outing May 17, 2008 The inaugural Tri-State Area Picnic and Golf Outing will be held at Penn Scenic View and the nearby Indian Lake Golf Club. ALL members and their guests are welcome to join us for this event, particularly those in the Tri-State Area (Southwest Pennsylvania, Southeast Ohio and Northern West Virginia). More details and a reservation form will appear in upcoming issues of this magazine. William Penn Association Annual Golf Tournament July 18 and 19, 2008 The Dauphin Highlands Golf Club in Harrisburg, Pa., will once again play host to the WPA's annual national golf outing. Accommodations for golfers and guests will be at the Sheraton Harrisburg-Hershey Hotel, which will also be the site of the pre-tournament reception Friday evening and the golf awards dinner Saturday after the tournament. Hungarian Heritage Experience August 3 to 9, 2008 Penn Scenic View in Rockwood, Pa., will again serve as the site for the Experience. Students will receive 25 hours of instruction, focusing on practical usage of the Hungarian language. Reservations will be taken on a first-come/first-served basis. The Experience is open to WPA life-benefit members age 18 or older. The cost for the week, including lodging, meals and workshop materials is only $275. William Penn Association Trip to the Motherland August or September 2008 The WPA is exploring the possibility of sponsoring a 14-day trip to Hungary. Members interested in joining such a trip can contact me at 1-800-848-7366, ext. 136. The more people who express a serious interest in going, the more likely we will sponsor a tour. So, call soon. William Penn Association Picnic-A Great Fraternal Fest September 13, 2008 The eighth edition of the WPA's most popular fraternal event will be held on the lovely grounds of Penn Scenic View. Preparations for this picnic are already under way. More information on these fraternal events, as well as information about events being held throughout the Hungarian- American Community, will appear in future issues of this publication. Or, you can learn more by calling me at 1-800-848-7366, ext. 136. As always, the key to the success of these events is your participation. I look forward to meeting you throughout the coming year. Wishing you all a prosperous and happy new year. Sikeres boldog új évet minden kedves tagunknak. |wtl| Sharing the fraternal spirit During the holiday season, more than any other time of the year, we remember those less fortunate than ourselves. With this in mind, the spouses and friends of the WPA Board of Directors made another visit to Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. They brought with them a variety of gifts, including gift cards and a check for $200. This outpouring of generosity expressed their love and joy in being able to demonstrate the true spirit of fraternalism to help those in need. The WPA has been a great supporter of this project and extends thanks to the spouses and friends of the Board in remembering the children. Those who participated in the most recent visit to the hospital are pictured here. This experience was very uplifting to all, knowing that this small gesture resulted in many smiling faces during the holiday season. — EC William Penn Life, January 2008 3
