Special thanks to Judy Campagna who brought a special touch with her lovely solos. Of course, we cannot forget to mention that the children under the direction of Zoltán Kovács sang traditional Hungarian Christmas songs and ended with “Boldog Karácsonyi Ünnepeket.” Our final Christmas activity took us to the homes of church members where the children of the Sunday school enthusiastically sang carols, starting a tradition to be pursued in the years to come. All in all it was a busy month, but the activities brought us closer to God’s purpose for the holiday season, the adoration of his Son and our reflective spirit to share His love.

It was opened by President Irene Sinclair, and the prayer was offered by Mary Patrick. The treasurer’s report given by Mrs. Sinclair was accepted. We talked about hopefully picking up new members, but due to the continuing bad economy, we are having a hard time. Another local mine closed, laying off 500 more men. Officers elected for 1994 are: Irene Sinclair, President & Treasurer; Mary Patrick, Vice President & Secretary. We are continuing with our old projects: canceled stamps, used eyeglasses, incontinent pads for hospice patients, keeping up with our church projects, clothing and food collections for the needy. Each member brought a covered dish, and we shared an enjoyable evening of fellowship. The meeting adjourned at 8:00 P.M. Irene Sinclair, Branch Manager BRANCH 181 - GR. RAPIDS, MI The following branch officers were elected at our annual meeting on January 3, 1994: Rev. Julius Vigh, Jr., President; Douglas Bell, Vice President; George Petras, Treasurer; Joan Katherine Vigh, Secretary. Joan K. Vigh, Secretary BRANCH 302 - NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ Branch 302 held its annual Christmas Party for the children of the Branch on Saturday, December 18, 1993 at the Fellowship Hall of the Magyar Reformed Church, New Brunswick, New Jersey. Refreshments were donated by the branch officers. Santa Claus (who moonlights as László Lipoczky, HRFA Vice President) sat with each child and gave them promotional items provided by the Home Office, candy and a monetary gift from the Branch. As always, fun and fellowship were the only order of the day, and a good time was had by all. At the January 16, 1994 meeting of the Branch, the following individuals were elected as Branch Officers for the coming year: Jerry Wyttenbach, President; Matilda Dózsa, Vice President; Anna Lipoczky, Treasurer; Bill Puskas, Jr., Secretary. The following meeting dates were set for the coming year, with times and places to be determined by the Branch Officers: April 7, 1994; July 9, 1994 (combination meeting and picnic); October 20, 1994; January 19, 1995. Several members of the branch represented the HRFA at the installation of Officers Dinner of the Hungarian American Athletic Club of New Brunswick, New Jersey, on February 5, 1994. As this issue of the Fraternity goes to press, we are preparing for our Branch’s Annual Dinner on March 5, 1994, an event which has traditionally been a culinary, fraternal and financial success. Bill Puskas, Jr., Secretary
