FRATERNITY Page 11 BRANCH LIFE — OSZTÁLY ÉLET BRANCH 2 — CLEVELAND, OH More than 100 members of the Hungarian Reformed Federation of America assembled to pay tribute to a Fraternal Brother by celebrating Rev. Dr. Stephen Szabo’s 60th Anniversary of Ordination into the Christian Ministry. The planning of a banquet for 300 guests is not an unusual undertaking in many of our larger Hungarian churches, hut to assemble dignitaries, ministers, and public officials re­quires added able persons to co-ordinate those little “extras” to insure success. Edward Szabó, Ohio Director of the HRFA, accepted the undertaking on behalf of a group of dedicated members of the Federation who worked on plan­ning the anniversary banquet. Following an inspiring church service that lasted nearly 1 1/2 hours, the roast beef stuffed cabbage dinner (with trimmings) was continued un­til 4 o’clock with an endless stream of greetings from Dr. Szabo’s many friends and well wishers, far and near. In addition to the personal gifts to Dr. Szabó, the Church received a nice donation for being the host church. Truly a great privilege in the truest sense of fraternal and social service to our dear friend and a person who served on the Board of Directors of the HRFA for 24 years. Members of the HRFA: Julia Reitz, Irene Waszil, Betty Hartman, Louise Luschek, Steve & Olga Kish, Janet Ta- jgiszar, Edward Szabó and other members in and out of the First Hungarian Reformed Church assisted to help where and when needed to host the Annual Youth Conference on May 1-3, 1987. The annual bowling banquet was an event that was en­joyed by the First Hungarian Reformed Church League. Our congratulations to Louis & Julia Szonyi, their daughter Louise Luschek, and son-in-law Mike Reitz, who were the season champions. All but Mike are members of the HRFA. Lucy & Ed Szabó supplied all the refreshments for the party of 50 bowlers and guests on behalf of the HRFA. Edward Szabó, Ohio Director BRANCH 4 — CLEVELAND, OH Junius 22-én ünnepelte 40-ik házassági évfordulóját Pathko John és felesége. A házaspár Komárom megyébó'l származik.
