PAGE 12 Verhovay Journal December 21, 1955 QTOR f.ITY NEWS BRANCH 36 — DETROIT, MICHIGAN By Jolán Lucas SEASON’S GREETINGS TO EVERYONE! It was a very pleasant experience to attend the year end meeting of Branch 36 from beginning to end, which was held on Sunday, December 4th. Since my transfer to this branch, I have missed one December meet­ing entirely — got in toward the end last year, but finally made it this year. I am glad I went! For this attendance I must thank Vice- President Julius Macker who takes me to these meetings and brings me back. Mr. Macker lives about four blocks from here, and, if it weren’t for thumbing a ride with him, I probably couldn’t make it often. Thanks, Mr. Macker, you go and T go! . President Joseph Heck opened the meeting with a rather wistful and reminiscent speech. Until he spoke these words, it never really dawned on any of us that this month, ac­tually, was the final meeting of any branch in the organization as a VERHOVAY FRATERNAL IN­SURANCE ASSOCIATION member. It will seem odd, and yet it should j^rove thrilling, to attend the Janu­ary meeting as a “WILLIAM PENN FRATERNAL ASSOCIATION” member. Those of us who were born in America will be doubly happy, because now when we mention our society’s name we can proudly state what the name stands for .., William Penn — Brotherly Love l As President Heck stated at the end of the meeting, it should make the job of our branch and district managers much easier, since the change of name should readily ac­quaint the prospective member with a good and solid American fraternal organization. I can very easily imag­ine one man in particular who should be more than happy. I can recall with clarity that Charlie Young, that great fraternal guy of Branch 383 in Buffalo, New York years ago worked and campaigned for a name change. I hope Chuck is more than pleased now, because I know how hard he sought this change, and also that many thousands of us, who are considered second and third gene­ration members, are satisfied. The minutes of the November meeting (which I missed) were read and approved, and a word here for the comprehensive manner in which recording secretary John Dienes presents the minutes. A meeting or two can be missed, but every im­portant decision and discussion is faithfully recorded by Mr. Dienes. It is our advantage to have him again as recording secretary for 1956. ' As the regular monthly business was begun, I looked around and found it satisfying to see so many women at the meeting, Particularly, I was glad that at last I was to meet another woman (younger than myself) taking an active interest in branch affairs. Mrs. Stephen Danko (nee Julia Papp) is charming, friendly and a great fraternal lass (reminds me of myself a few — some ten — year's ago). She has many ideas about getting younger life into meetings, social affairs, and sp. on. Coant on me, Julia to help all I can., but we need about two or three more gals in our group. Julia is in charge of the Juvenile members who present their talents at the various social affairs. She rehearses with them every Monday evening at the Verhovay home, brings them refreshments from home, and is now­­contemplating organizing a club for them, with monthly dues, officers, regular affairs and social doings of their own. I heartily approve of that suggestion, and go a step further, in that I should like to or­ganize the teen-age and older groups for the same purpose — club, dues, activities, meetings, etc. More of this as plans are effected. There were ten sick members faithfully visited by Mr. Steve Jozsa who was reelected for this duty in 1956. I suggest that Mr. Jozsa relay a list of sick members to me each month so that their names appear in this column. We hope all you members are feeling better now and will be able to enjoy the Christmas season. * ¥ * Other business included a tentative date for a pork supper (disznótoros vacsora) on Saturday night, January 28, at the former Verhovay home, 8005 W. Jefferson Avenue.
