Special thanks for a job well done goes to Mrs. Albert Toth, president of the Social Club, and to her assistants, Mrs. Emery Készéi, Mrs. Joseph Vincze, Mrs. Bela Szabó, Flora Toth, Mrs. Daniel Szucs, Mrs. Joseph Brassay and Mrs. John Ignacz; also, to Emery Készéi, president of Branch 45, Dr. Julius Nadas, recorder, Eugene Vincze, Louis Szenessy and Stephen Kovács.
