Seeing so many friends from all over was an added bonus. Members of our group traveling to this event were quite lucky during the Chinese auction. A big "welcome to the Youngstown area" goes out to Joseph Farkacs from Hungary. Joseph is attending Youngstown State University and residing with relatives Frank and Mary Schauer. Speaking of Frank and Mary, it's so nice to see they have safely returned home after a month-long adventure in Hungary to visit family and friends. They have many stories to share. We will be holding a special branch gathering in November to honor our 50-year members. Many happy returns to those celebrating a birthday or anniversary.
