Branch 27 Toledo, OH_______ By Mary Ivancso Branch 27 Coordinator Dec. 5 was a day to remember for the juvenile members of Branch 27. Our Christmas party, held in the home of National Director Stephen J. Ivancso Sr. and wife Mary, was a huge success. Huge 32-inch stockings, filled with toys, candy and other goodies, were given to every child by Santa (played by none other than Director Ivancso). Hot dogs, chips and refreshments were enjoyed by the children and parents alike. Photographer Stephen Ivancso Jr. took pictures of each child with Santa. Our thanks to Vice President Dorothy Feyes, Auditor Jula Feyes and Peggy Ivancso for their work in the kitchen. The following were re-elected at our annual election of branch officers held Dec. 6: Maggie Ivancso, president; Dorothy Feyes, vice president; Mary Ivancso, secretary/treasurer; and Julius Feyes and Stephen Ivancso Jr., auditors. Director Ivancso swore in the new officers. Our deepest sympathy goes to the families of Charles Aslos and Margaret Halasz. Rose Bodnar and Mary Kepes vacationed in Chicago.

Our appreciation goes to Eugene and Frances Sakasits for their participation in the St. Vincent DePaul fundraiser on Dec. 5. The tidy sum of $9,500 raised made a lot of needy people in our area very happy this past holiday season. Eugene and Frances head up St. Stephen of Hungary’s St. Vincent DePaul Society and do a wonderful job of assembly and distribution. Ditto to Peg and Steve Sándor for their help in our branch’s collection and distribution of holiday baskets. God bless them and all the contributors, including our own Association. Our branch Christmas party was a huge success thanks to all of the officers and, of course, those wonderful volunteers. We believe we had a first this year — a joint appearance by Santa Claus (Steve Novak) and Mrs. Santa Claus (Ruth Fabian). They were both naturals for their parts and received a lot of favorable comments on what a good job they did. The children enjoyed watching cartoons, singing Christmas carols, and receiving a bag of goodies. Refreshments were Sloppy Joes, potato chips, pickles, cupcakes, coffee and pop. We even had some insurance business transacted at the party by Branch 28 Coordinator Gabe Nameth. Those of you who couldn’t get to the party can contact Gabe at his home anytime (216-792-8145) or at our branch meetings. Thank you also to Leslie Wash and Charles Szekely. You did all that you could in the past years as officers of Branch 28. We appreciate you and wish you well. To all you shut-ins and those who are sick and in pain, may God be with you to ease some of the suffering and loneliness. And to all, peace in this new year of 1988.
