Branch 349 Weirton, WV The members of Branch 349 were shocked and saddened by the news that one of our branch members, Joseph R. Koon Sr., was among those who died in the crash of USAir Flight 427 on Sept. 8 near Pittsburgh. We extend our deepest sym­pathy to his wife, Linda, his sons, Joseph and Todd, and all his surviving relatives. We pray for his eternal rest and ask God to bestow his bles­sings on those who knew and loved Joseph. Branch 525 Los Angeles, CA By Sarika Gotz Branch 525 Vice President Happy new year to all our friends in the William Penn Association. Our branch Christmas party was a huge success. It was held Dec. 4 at the Hungarian Club in Bloomington. The children were so excited waiting for the arrival of Santa. The singing of "Here Comes Santa Claus” welcomed the jolly old man himself. He went straight to his work, handing out the stockings stuffed with so many goodies. He was helped by his two elves, Branch Coordinator Andy Gotz and Branch President John Balint. Each child also re­ceived a silver dollar. Christmas truly is for children. It was fun watching their faces as they opened up their gifts. Once the children were settled, the adult members and guests enjoyed a great Hungarian dinner served by the club. We also held our election of officers for 1995. Congratula­tions to our new officers: John Balint, president; Sarika Gotz, vice president; James Gotz, secre­tary; and Andrew Gotz, treasurer. Let’s all help and support these officers in the new year. We would also like to say thank you to the Home Office for its support of our Christmas party. May the new year bring us all peace, health and prosperity.

Yes, Santa Claus appeared and shook hands with everyone, wishing all the greetings of the season. He then opened his bag and gave treats to the children in front of a lighted Christmas tree.
