FRATERNITY Page 17 BRANCH 35 - DETROIT, MI Our branch meeting was held in the afternoon of Sunday, October 31st at the American Hungarian Reformed Church in Allen Park, Michigan. President Amy Kulcsár opened the meeting at 1:30 P.M. by welcoming the members. Rev. Keith Robertson interim minister of the church offered the opening prayer.

CHICAGO, IN Director Vespremi, 1st left, together with members of Branch 35 Branch Manager Mrs. Ethel Teghze Gerber read the names of deceased members. Since this meeting, three wonderful members passed away: Andrew Kish, Cecilia Vespremi and Mary Horynak. Director Samuel Vespremi and the Secretary paid their respects on behalf of the branch and asked that God grant the deceased members eternal rest. Az AMRE Kossuth Klub novemberi gyűlésén szép számmal vettek részt a tagok. A gyűlés bevezetése után megvitattuk a klub decemberi gyűlésére tervezett Mikulás-Karácsony party programját, és a szilveszteri bál részleteit is. Megvitatásra került a Rezi Templom felújítására kért segítség, ami a Katolikus Magyarok Vasárnapja újságban volt hirdetve. A tagok egyhangúlag 100 dollárt szavaztak meg. A gyűlés befejezése után finom székelykáposztával és sütemény-kávéval vendégelték meg a tagokat a Kossuth Klub háziasszonyai. Az est többi részét társalgással, bankó és kártya játékkal töltötték a tagok. On Sunday, November 14th, Director Vespremi and the Secretary reported on their trip to Toledo, OH to attend the English service, the banquet and the annual bazaar of the Church. On that occasion, Director Vespremi met with Branch Manager Mrs. Bacho with whom he discussed the membership and the officers’ election in 1994. Rev. Bertalan gave them a warm welcome at the Church. Since there was no more business to report, the meeting adjourned with the Lord’s Prayer. The election of officers for 1994 will be held in January 1994. Refreshments were served by President Amy Kulcsár. The Secretary Louise Vespremi extended best wishes for the Holidays to the members of the branch. Louise Vespremi, Secretary New business: Director Samuel Vespremi asked those present to help recruit new members for the Federation. The Branch Manager mentioned that she mailed out a large number of cards asking members to attend the branch meetings; however, the response was not positive. Mrs. Teghze Gerber also said that although she attends the church service at the Allen Park Church, she does not seem to have access to prospects through the church. Ethel Vig, who works for the church, said that she would put an ad in the church bulletin every Sunday in English and Hungarian, asking the members of the congregation to contact her personally or by phone with any questions they may have. We thank Ethel for her assistance in this matter. Segítő kérelem egy magyar falu templomának felújítására. Mint ahogy fent olvassuk, a Kossuth Klub novemberi gyűlése megszavazott 100 dollár adományt, hogy a Rezi Templomot felújítsák. Átérezve az ügy fontosságát, a Kovács család ezt az összeget megduplázta, hiszen Kovács József az AMRE igazgatója innen indult Amerikában 37 évvel ezeló'tt. Egy testvére és több rokona most is él a faluban. A Rezi falu népe nagyon értékelné, ha egy pár dollár adományt kapna, mert ahogy a Tisztelendő Úr is írja, “minden fillér számít.” Mária Kovács, 62-es osztálykezelő
