We participated in a Join Hands Day project June 15 at the Wayne County Family Center for the abused and homeless. We had a large group of volunteers. We worked in the rain for a great part of the day before the sun came out. We prefer the rain. I want to thank each of our volunteers for their hard work and donations. Many prefer to remain anonymous, but here are a few: Downriver American Legion, Lowe's of Riverview and Kurtzhals Flowers. Lowe's manager Jim Geers donated fence poles, cement and grass seed. He also gave us a break on the 2x4's. Kurtzhals donated 20 flats of flowers. Mercers equipment rental in Southgate donated the post hole digger for the entire day. Thanks to Ron, Rick and Jim. Please remember these people .when you are doing work for yourself. Please mention the WPA and say thanks. The Family Center looks beautiful now. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. You all showed the true meaning of fraternalism. Now, rest up. Join Hands Day will be here again before we know it. Thank you, Genevieve Molnár, for all your donated items. Branch 18 breaks for the summer. We will meet again on Sept. 20, at 7:00 p.m. at the Hungarian American Reformed Church. Steve and Anna Nagy and Elsie and Bob Kantor will bring us goodies.

The picture of the winning women's team in last month's William Penn Life should have been of Helen Molnár's team. Her team finished first in the handicap event; my team had the best scratch score. Everyone from Branch 18 came in the money. Great bowling! Have a wonderful summer. Bon voyage to my mom, Irene Korpák, as she leaves on her trip to Hungary. I just can't make it this year.
