Marge Nicholas, Branch Manager Tel: 330-372-5183 Branch 300 - Washington, D.C. The annual Mother’s Day picnic of Branch 300 was celebrated at Camp Olympic on Sunday, May 12, 2002. After many days of unusually cool weather, the sun came out to celebrate with us on this special day in the life of our branch. Each year the program seems to be the same; however, it is the mix of the people that always makes it somewhat different. The day started with an outdoor worship service, followed by a presentation by the Hungarian Scouts of Washington, D.C. in honor of all the mothers. This is the last time that Kristina Szekely will be leading the group, since she and her family are leaving for England for a few years. We wish them Godspeed. The Scouts and the Hungarian community will surely miss her and her family. L. to r.: Ten Pflum, Branch Manager, and Iren Vallario, Branch Treasurer, enjoying fellowship. The menu, which consisted of delicious Hungarian specialties, was prepared by and donated to us by László Baranyi and his wife, Kati. We are very indebted to them for their selfless spirit of goodwill and generosity. We honored our hosts, Stephen and Elizabeth Benedek, as well as Dr. Paul and Agnes Harsanyi, for their 25 years of membership with the HRFA.
