The event once again proved to be a lovely evening for all those who attended. There was a free cocktail hour which started at 6:00 p.m. At 7:00 p.m. a feast of Hungarian­­style breaded chicken, sausage, rice and gravy, salad and cake was served. We thank the members of the Ladies Auxiliary who prepared the delicious dinner: Helen Al­­massy, Pauline Meyhart, Goldie Pal, Norma Palmer, Lillian Rhine-Botkin. The singing went better than ever and also a new first — singing of Hungarian Christmas carols by many of the adults. All said it was just great. With the singing of "Jingle Bells” our very enthusiastic Santa Claus made his entrance. He greeted each child with a gift of candy and a fresh $2 bill. Many of the children had their photos taken with Santa while they sat on his lap, adding to their prev­ious lists sent to him and admon­ishing him not to forget. All now settled down to enjoy the puppet show presented by Sadecky Puppets. This group was very professional with excellent props and amazing puppets. The story "Blitzen Is Lost” was pre­sented in such an interesting man­ner that it held the attention of all for the entire show. With the conclusion of the performance dinner was served. This was an excellent meal catered by Woody’s Little Italy Restaur­ant. Everyone had more than enough to eat and drink. After the socializing was ended, all slowly departed saying it was the best branch party ever. We are grateful to all who very proud. To help defray costs, the group is having fund raisers.
