For Starters

Letter from the Chair of the Board

On the occasion of this, our 125th anniversary year, we reflect on the lessons of the past. We also affirm our dedication to the present and look forward to our future-a future that would not be possible without the dedication, loyalty and support of you, our members.

Your Official Family has worked very hard this year to find many activities to keep you interested and active. We have our Annual Golf Tournament in July with many surprises. Our young people have the opportunity to attend our Youth Camp in August, something that is brand new this year. We are holding our annual Hungarian Heritage Experience also in August. That is followed by our 125th Anniversary Gala celebration with many surprises, including the Rajkó Ensemble from Hungary. Then we go directly into our General Convention. On Sept. 17, we will host the I Ith Annual WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal-Fest at Scenic View. Four days later, we again say bon voyage to those taking part in our trip to Hungary. I'm hoping that I presented something here that tweaked your interest.

In the coming year, William Penn Association plans to spend some time with each branch. We want to be available to help you build strong branches that will last another 125 years.

It is with great joy and thanksgiving to God that we celebrate 125 years. We ask for God's continued blessing on our beloved William Penn Association and all our wonderful members.

Sincerely and Fraternally,

Barbara A. FHouse, Chair of the Board

fcocV*000,

All WPA members in the Pennsylvania-Ohio-West Virginia Tri-State Area are invited, along with their families, to celebrate WPA’s 125th anniversary at a picnic on Saturday, June 25, at Scenic View in Rockwood, Pa. It will be a day of great food and family fun under the Kohut Pavilion.

Bring the makings of whatever game or activity you enjoy to share with your fellow members—softball, soccer, tug-of-war, fishing, horseshoes, etc.

And don’t forget to bring your appetite, too, because we will be grilling and serving hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken and kolbász. We’ll also provide bacon, peppers, onions, tomatoes and rye bread for an old-fashioned szalonna sütés. We ask that each branch bring side dishes and/or desserts to pass. Soft drinks, plates and silverware will be provided.

The picnic will start at I 1:00 a.m. and last until 4:00 p.m.

Please call Dora McKinsey at I -800-848-7366, ext. 122, to let us know if you will be coming and how many people will be attending with you. We look forward to meeting you and sharing a fun, relaxing time. □
