On December 10th, 1972, Branch 15 held its annual Officer’s Election.

Two important subjects were brought up, one suggested by the Home Office that the Branch become a voting member of the Scholarship Foundation. The President put the resolution before the members and explained in detail that it is a worthwhile cause for- any member if he or she is willing to further their education. Motion was unanimously adopted. The meeting also adopted that as of January 1st, 1973, the Branch shall donate in memóriám for deceased members $10.00 in their name. The President then thanked the members for their attendance and support and on behalf of all the officers resigned all the positions. At the urging of the members, they requested that the same officers be retained if they are willing to remain. All officers agreed to remain for the year 1973.

The Christmas party got on the way at 3:15 P. M. with cartoons being shown in color for an hour by our Secretary Stephen Hodits. After the movies had been enjoyed by the parents as well as by the children, there were plenty of hot dogs and soda.

Santa’s helpers were: Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lakics, Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Teklics, Mr. and Mrs. Imre Bosits and The Hodits Family. These officers also donated their honorariums. The Party was held at the Armenian Church Hall at 6700 W. Diversey Avenue.
