6th WPA Picnic promises to be
another Great Fraternal Fest
ROCKWOOD, PA -- The Association
is making final preparations for the
sixth annual WPA Picnic-A Great
Fraternal Fest, to be held Saturday,
Sept. 16, at Penn Scenic View in
Rockwood, Pa.
Organizers anticipate more than
1,000 members and friends of the
WPA will spend the day with us.
Once again, the picnic promises
plenty of live music, dancing, special
activities for children and boundless
fellowship. Guests can also try their
luck at the Chinese auction and on
the 50-30-20 raffle.
But, the one thing everyone looks
forward to is sampling the wide array
of homemade Hungarian food. There
are huge black kettles hanging over
open wood fires, filled with freshly
made gulyás. You can also sit by the
open fire pits as you roast bacon,
preparing szalonna. Then, there’s the
kolbász, freshly made palacsinta and
langos and a wide array of homemade pastries. One thing’s for certain:
nobody leaves our picnic hungry.
We invite you to join us from noon
to 6:00 p.m. on Sept. 16 for a memorable and enjoyable afternoon.
An Open Invitation
Celebrating the 50th Anniversary
of Hungary’s Fight for Freedom
Dear Friends and Fellow Hungarians:
This year, 2006, represents an important anniversary for us. Fifty years
ago, on October 23, 1956, a yearning for freedom flared in the hearts of
the Hungarians--a yearning stronger than their fear of tyranny. For many of
us, the heroic days and crushing bloodbath that followed are only history,
and the memory of those glorious and tragic days obliges us to action
today. After 50 years, every freedom-loving Hungarian should lift up high
our national colors and make it known worldwide that the spirit of freedom
manifested so clearly in 1956 still lives and will flourish in the future as
long as the desire to be free exists in people’s hearts and minds.
We ask our fellow Hungarians, members of our churches and organizations, businesses, and all those who treasure the legacy of the 1956
uprising to please accept our invitation to a GRAND CELEBRATION
commemorating the heroes and events of Hungary’s fight for freedom. The
celebration will be held on Saturday, October 21, 2006, at Penn Scenic
View in Rockwood, Pennsylvania, beginning at 4:00 p.m.
The celebration will include an open bar, dinner, live music, dancing and
special presentations. The menu will include chicken paprikas, dumplings, stuffed cabbage, breaded pork chops, beef pörkölt, potatoes,
cucumber salad, pastries, pogacsa, coffee and tea. Cost is $40 per
person. For reservations, please call Endre Csoman at 1-800-848-7366,
Ext. 136.

Life Changes FAST...
...Permanent Life Insurance
Is SOLID
M
ore young adults are
buying permanent life
insurance today. And
that’s a smart choice. Why? Because
they know how quickly unexpected
circumstances can radically alter
their dreams for the future, and one
of the best ways to prepare for such
unforeseen changes is by adding
permanent life insurance to their
financial portfolio.
The WPA offers an outstanding
plan that can help young adults stay
on track towards financial security-our 20 Pay Life Insurance
Plan.
With this plan, you pay premiums for 20 years, but the coverage
remains for life, even after you’re
done paying premiums. It offers
protection that will cover you into
your senior years and will not end,
even if you change jobs or retire. It is
an excellent option for paying off
your life insurance early. AND, it
builds cash value.
As you can see in the example
on the right, the premiums increase
with age. So, the sooner you enroll in
the plan, the lower your cost will be
over time.
For more information, call your
local WPA sales representative. To
find an agent in your area, call Mark
Lantz, sales director, at the Home
Office at 1-800-848-7366, ext. 134.

23rd Annual Golf Tournament
Swingin’ in the rain
Golfers enjoy Annual Golf Tournament despite the weather
RICHMOND, OH -- Before each WPA
golf tournament, the Association
presents a small gift to every golfer as
a way of thanking them for their
participation. This year, each golfer
received a small umbrella designed to
protect their golf bag, and the clubs
inside, in case of rain.
As it turned out, the gift was a most
appropriate one. A few joked that it
was a jinx. Either way, the golfers
certainly used that particular gift.
Grey skies greeted 100 golfers July
22 at the Blackmoor Golf Club, and
within minutes after the shotgun
start, the rain began falling and
continued falling until the last golfers
were finishing their rounds. There
were no signs of lightning so golfers
continued play in rain gear and
under umbrellas. The soggy conditions may have slowed play, but
never stopped it.
It certainly didn’t stop Steve
Meyers and Betsy Griffith, winners of
the tournament’s low gross titles for
men and women. Steve shot a oneover-par 73 and Betsy shot 86.
Meanwhile, Bill Wood shot an 81 and
Dolores Horvath 98 to capture the
seniors low gross title.
Prizes were also awarded to those
who scored the lowest net scores,
based on the Callaway System. Bill
Mooney (68) and Debra Zamberry (70)
took low net honors for those age 18
to 59, and Sonny Lau (72) and Helen
Molnar (73) won the low net title
among seniors ages 60 and above.
Nobody could duplicate the holein-one Greg Fessler scored at last
year’s tournament; however, Debra
Zamberry did win $500 for getting her
tee shot closest to the pin on hole #15,
where an ace by a WPA member was
worth $15,000. Betsy Griffith also
won $200 for placing her tee shot
second closest to the pin.
A number of golfers won cash
prizes in various skill shot contests

A potpourri of recipes
FÁRAD JON BE A MAGYAR
KONYHÁBA.
Lately, all I have been doing is
working in the kitchen when it’s
raining and cutting the lawn and
golfing when it’s not. Such is life
in New Hampshire this summer.
Just remember: it could be worse
and rain every single day!
I had a great time at the Branch
336 picnic and golf outing in
Harrisburg, Pa. Our team finished
two under par in the scramble
which was quite the feat for the
three of us. Thank you Branch 336
and National Director Charlie
Johns for your hospitality!
The following week I had the
pleasure of golfing at Champion
Lakes and attending the Hungarian Reformed Federation of
America’s Bethlen Home picnic in
Ligonier, Pa. The food was delicious and the atmosphere very
relaxed. Thanks to all who made
the Bethlen Home picnic a fine

event.
The last tournament left for me
was our own WPA event in
Richmond, Ohio, at the Blackmoor
Golf Club. The Mountaineer Race
Track & Gaming Resort in
Chester, W.Va. was our home
base for the weekend. Between
slot machines, golf, horse racing
and good food we all enjoyed a
fun weekend.
It’s always fun to travel during
the summer because I meet so
many people who are fans and
support the Hungarian Kitchen.
This year was especially fun
because of the new cookbook that
became available. I have heard
many nice comments from lots of
people about the new WPA
cookbook. Remember it was a
compilation of all recipes sent in
by the membership that made it
successful. I guess Chef Vilmos
and I stirred the pot once all the
ingredients were added and-voila--the cookbook appeared.
Two more events for me this
summer happen in August and
September: the Hungarian Heritage Experience and the WPA
Picnic, both at Penn Scenic View in
Rockwood, Pa. This year’s Experience is booked up and all those
attending will have quite an
“experience.” Besides the food,
lessons and camaraderie, it’s a
time to reflect on one’s own
Hungarian life. I remember the
Magyar traditions and lifestyle
that my parents and grandparents
strived to live for in their lives.
Those traditions and lifestyle
are still around; you just have to
look a little harder to find them.
That is why it’s important to
support the WPA and all the
activities it has to offer. The best
is yet to come for us all!
I will be giving cooking demonstrations at the Picnic this year.
We will also be selling the new
cookbook at our booth. Please
stop by and say hello and sample
some Magyar food. If you have
any cooking questions please
bring them with you. On that
happy note, I look forward to
seeing many of you at the picnic.
This month I didn’t have a topic
so what I did was provide a lot of
my favorite recipes that I like and
use during the school year at
Harvard. I hope you enjoy preparing them for yourself or your

Practical Pointer
When whipping cream or making any salad
dressings for your picnic or backyard
barbecue, chill the mixing bowl and your
wire whip or beater attachment before
starting the recipe. It will take a shorter
time to prepare the product, and you can
serve your guests right away or keep the
mixture chilled in the same bowl until you’re
ready to eat.
Apple Brownies
1 stick of butter
1 cup sugar
1 whole egg
1 cup all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup peeled chopped apples
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Cream the butter, sugar and egg.
Add the flour, baking powder, salt
and cinnamon. Blend well then add
the chopped apples. Pour into a
greased 8 x 8 inch baking pan. Bake
at 350 degrees for 55 minutes. Cool
to room temperature then serve
your guests.
Apple Chutney
2 cups apple cider vinegar
2 cups granulated sugar
1½ pounds Granny Smith apples
peeled, cored and ½-inch diced
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
10 garlic cloves
2 ounces fresh ginger peeled and
coarsely chopped
1½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried crushed red
pepper
1½ cups golden raisins
2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
Bring vinegar and sugar to a boil in
a non-reactive saucepan stirring all
the time until sugar dissolves.
Reduce heat and simmer for 10
minutes. Remove from heat and set
aside. In a stainless steel or porcelain
bowl toss the apples in the lemon
juice. Combine the garlic, ginger, salt
and red pepper in a food processor
and blend until finely chopped. Add
this mixture to the vinegar/sugar
pan. Add the apples, raisins and
mustard seeds to the vinegar pan.
Simmer over low heat until apples
go tender and the chutney thickens.
Stir occasionally so bottom of pan
doesn’t burn. Serve warm with a
roasted meat or chill for one hour
and serve as a condiment with the
meal.

squash is cooked. In another bowl
add the herbs to the yogurt and mix
well. Pour this into the zucchini/
onion mix and stir well until smooth

during the hour. Preheat your BBQ
gas grill or broiler and coat the grill
or the rack with the veggie oil. Cook

We at Branch 18 just got back from
our annual summer trip. We had a
terrific time. I was told it was our best
ever. The only inconvenience came at
the Canadian border. I strongly
recommend everyone to obtain a
passport. Those that had them soon
realized it made things a little easier. I
don’t plan on scheduling anymore
trips out of the country.
Next year’s annual trip will be to
Philadelphia and Atlantic City. Our
thanks to National Director Charlie
Johns for that idea. Charlie invited us
to the Flag Day ceremony in Philadelphia. He is president of the Philadelphia Fraternals. He did a great job
and showed us many wonderful
things that everyone should see. We’ll
visit those places again on our trip,
then take time to walk the Boardwalk,
swim in the ocean and gamble (of
course).
Happy anniversary to Carol and
Doug Truesdell. Thank you for your
kind words. We love you a lot.

Hello to everyone in the WPA world,
hoping and wishing all a very
wonderful summer.
Since the Hungarian Club was
sold, the branch is looking into other
places to have meetings and other
events. We have been offered the use
of the nearby Duna Schwab for our
celebrations. The Duna Schwab
building is on the same street, less
than one-half mile away. Our WPA
meetings will probably be there,
although arrangements have not been
finalized.
We would like to give a big welcome to one of our newer members,
Kimberly Tremmel and her mother.
We also want to give our warmest
greetings to our many members,
especially Armand and Laura DeVoe
(who have recently returned to our
area from their Florida home); Shirley
and Kady DeMaria; Tommy Kinyo
and his new bride; the Mezei family;
the Fogarasi family; and all the others
who are too numerous to name.
We are hoping to be able to get a
group of people together to make the
trip to western Pennsylvania for the
WPA Picnic on Sept. 16. We want to
thank Gyongyi Harta for advertising
it in the monthly newsletter. We plan
to rent a bus, but need enough people
to fill it. The picnic is open to everyone: you do not have to be a member
to attend. The price of $45 includes
the bus and all food and drink.
