Thanking Frontline Workers July/August 2021 INSIDE: EFT: a quick, safe way to pay your premiums Leaving a legacy to our Scholarship Foundation Details and entry form for our Fall Golf Outing WPLWILLIAM PENN LIFE Thanking frontline workers Coronavirus updates For nearly a year and a half, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought a pause to many of our favorite activities, including our annual WPA events. While much progress has been made toward ending the pandemic, we all still need to be cautious in our daily lives and we must each do our part to prevent further outbreaks. We encourage all our members and friends to please get vaccinated and continue to follow any local, state and federal protocols. With each of us doing our part, we can hasten a return to our normal routines. Fortunately, the situation has progressed to the point where we believe we can safely return to enjoying many of our favorite WPA activities. After much discussion, and based on the latest guidelines from the government and health experts, the WPA Board of Directors is pleased to announce the following: • Branch meetings are now permissible, according to local and state guidelines on holding gatherings; allow for social distancing and wear masks, if required. • Branches are also permitted to host a branch family Christmas party in 2021, again being sure to follow local and state guidelines on conducting such gatherings. • Branch election of officers will not be held in 2021. As you may be aware, elec- tions were scheduled to be held in late 2020, but the Board postponed those elec- tions and requested that the current branch officers remain in place until further notice. For the purpose of continuity and in accordance with the Association’s By- Laws, which call on election of branch officers to be held in even-numbered years, the WPA Board has authorized that current officers remain in place until branch offi- cer elections are held in November or December 2022. Both our Board and National Officers greatly appreciate the service and dedication of all our current branch offi- cers. If, however, office vacancies need to be filled due to the death or resignation of an officer, your branch is permitted to conduct a special meeting to hold an election prior to 2022. In the case of a special election, the branch must notify the National Vice President-Secretary prior to scheduling such election and submit the minutes of the special branch election meeting afterwards. • For the time being, this publication will continue to be published every other month. We are seeing light at the end of this long, dark tunnel, and we look forward to gath- ering together again and resuming more of our fraternal events, but in a safe man- ner. We are committed to moving forward, and working together, we will emerge from this stronger than ever.

  • Quality Hungarian Style Sausages
    www.bende.com No. 1R Quality Hungarian Style Sausages Always made with top quality natural ingredients and naturally smoked to make this a sausage our family is proud to produce. Sausage Excellence for Over 70 Years A Proud Heritage The Bende family has been in the food trade since 1935 when a young Miklos Sr. opened his first grocery store in Hungary. He ran several grocery stores in Budapest and Miskolc before immigrating with his wife and young son in 1956. Soon after arriving in the United States, the family returned to its meat cutting and grocery roots, opening the first Bende store in Chicago’s Burnside neighborhood. Sev- eral stores followed, as did a reputation for preparing out- standing smoked meats. While we have grown and adopted new technologies, we still use the original old world recipes carried from Hungary by our grandfather. Using only the most authentic ingredients allows us to remain true to our high family standards and proud Hungarian heritage. Left top, our Lincoln Avenue store, circa 1964.

  • You Know You're..." Group, So I Decided to Make One! :=) I'll Add Some Here, and As People Join and Post Their Own, I'll Add Them
    Well, every other culture has their "You Know You're..." group, so I decided to make one! :=) I'll add some here, and as people join and post their own, I'll add them. So let's see... You Know You're Hungarian... 1. When you use sour cream more than ketchup. 2. When your parents come to visit for 3 weeks and you all stay in a one bedroom apartment. 3. When feeding your guests is your main priority even if they claim they're not hungry and in which case you get slightly offended/upset that they don't want your hospitality. 4. When someone says that Hungarian "is like Russian and all those other Slavic languages," and then you have to go into great detail about the origins of Hungarian with a scolding history lesson. 5. When Paprika is just as important as salt & pepper on the table & in food. 6. When you know what Unicum is and prefer it over Jagermeister. 7. When it's shocking for you to realize that TV channels of foreign countries don't broadcast full live coverage of kayak-canoe and water polo world championships in prime time. 8. When you tell someone that you are Hungarian, they ask "Are you hungry?" Then you congratulate them on being the millionth person to say that to you. 9. When you've heard, "If you're hungry, why not go to Turkey?" at least once in your life. 10. When you have a relative who's named Attila. Or Jozsef. Or Janos. Or Laszlo.

  • A Dinner Almost Just Like Home at Hungarian Kitchen
    A Dinner Almost Just Like Home at Hungarian Kitchen Exterior Hungarian Kitchen (HK), is a restaurant in North Fort Myers serving Hungarian cuisine. They are located in the Weavers Corner Plaza, on the Northeast corner of Bayshore Rd. and US 41. As of this writing, they have been open for about one month. Always looking for good food, I had read some very positive comments about HK on social media and decided to give it a try. I like Eastern European food from time to time and my dining companion was more than enthusiastic about dining here, so why not? The restaurant probably seats about 25 people at most. The restaurant furnishings are for now somewhat spartan lest for the doily-like tablecloths that cover the dining tables. I thought this only added to the homey feel this establishment has. Eszter, Owner and Cook We chatted with one of the owners (and cook and sometimes server), Eszter. She told us she had run a house cleaning service for almost 20 years, but was tired of the commute and wanted to switch gears. Eszter is very passionate about her cooking at one point showing us the Dutch bell peppers she used to cook lecso (letch-o), that delicious Hungarian pepper stew, but more on that later. This is the menu for now. Eszter was very enthusiastic about adding new menu items in the near future. We started with a bowl of Goulash, that wonderful beef soup (stew) seasoned with paprika. Here, the soup was made with potatoes, onions, carrots and celery.

  • Perfectly Joined Gases for Life
    No. 10 Issue 03 | August 2013 Gases for Life The industrial gases magazine Service and know-how for welding and cutting: Perfectly joined Gas supply: Paper production: PVC recycling: MegaPack The footprint is Floor powder innovation getting smaller Editorial View of the “Big Air Package”, inside the Oberhausen Gasometer. Dear Readers, Did you take the car for a spin or go for a bike ride at the weekend, or did you simply relax in a sun lounger? If you did any of these things, you will have come into contact with steel or aluminium structures, the compo- nents of which are cut to size and joined with the aid of welding and cutting gases. Welding and cutting – at first, that sounds like a traditional trade. But there is much more to it than that. It requires extensive experience as well as the optimal gas and the right process for the particular application in question. Messer is happy to pass this knowledge on to its customers, including in the form of welder train- ing. We also supply the appropriate gases – from standard through to customised special mixtures. You can find out more about this in our cover story. One example of an unusual metal structure is the Gasometer in Oberhausen, where the “Big Air Package”, a fascinating installation by artist Christo, can presently be experienced. Messer is sponsoring this event and we are offering a special prize for the winner of our competition (page 19): a copy of the exhibition catalogue signed by Christo. So it is certainly worth leafing through this issue of “Gases for Life”.
