Branching Out Csornán A precious cycle More activities lead to growth, which leads to more activities WPA Annual Bowling Tournament * iHEj/yyip • A Fun Event for the Entire Family • • Adults singles and team prizes • THE BEAUTIFUL SPRING weather is finally here. Trees, shrubs and flowers are in bloom everywhere—the perfect setting for outings and an old-fashioned William Penn picnic. The primary mission of the WPA is to provide financial security and fraternal benefits to its members, which makes the Association a non-profit organization. It is not too late to plan fraternal activities for this year, and, as we do so, it is important to keep increasing membership in mind. We must have new members to bring in premium income, which supports the cost of all our fraternal programs. The fraternal activities in all branches should therefore encompass the youth and the older members of the Association. If we want our young members to become interested in our Association, we must pursue every opportunity to involve them in all fraternal activities. In directing the fraternal activities of the Association, I can say we have been busy planning the year's activities. During the past few months, we have been crisscrossing the States, visiting churches and attending branch activities. As you know, we are the only Hungarian fraternal our Golf Tournament is just around tue corner.
