There are three kinds of Life Insurance Companies; Fraternal, Stock and Mutual. Of the three, Fraternals are the oldest in form. Fraternals provide members fellowship and sociality in addition to financial benefits. Fraternal Benefit Societies perform charitable, educational, patriotic and sometimes religious works for the benefit of mankind. Our main fraternal activities are our Annual National Bowling Tournament, Annual Golf Tournament, and Annual WPA Picnic, all of which benefit the William Penn Fraternal Association Scholarship Foundation, Inc.

Fraternal Activities


 

Hungarian Heritage Experience

As part of our commitment to promoting our Hungarian heritage, the Association sponsors a week-long Hungarian Language Camp each summer at Penn Scenic View.  The camps are open to all adult life-benefit members.  Each camp offers language instruction on two levels, beginner and intermediate, and is limited to a total of 25 students.

This program continues to be successful because it offers more than just extensive language instruction. Students learn about Hungarian history, geography, culture and society. They also participate in nightly social activities at which they can practice their new language skills in a relaxed, conversational setting. The continuation of intensive learning, interesting topics and informal atmosphere leaves many students eager to learn more about the Hungarian language and culture.
