A delicious luncheon followed in the dining room, after which we had the opportunity to sit in the patio area or stroll the grounds, enjoying the afternoon sun. The visit was very informative, and it gave everyone the chance to see, first-hand, the work being done at the Bethlen Home. Clothing for residents and craft items for the Bazaar were also donated by several members at this time. The warm and friendly hospitality which was extended to us during this visit will long be remembered by the travellers.

Virgulák — president, Joseph Lucskay — vice president, Elizabeth Szocs — corresponding secretary, Suzanne S. Virgulák — recording secretary, Joseph Singola — treasurer, Andrew Hut- kai — controller.
