Many Branch 18 members are going to Hungary on Sept. 23 with Fathers Barnabas and Angelus of Holy Cross Hungarian Catholic Church. This will be my 12th trip there, and I can't wait. My mom, Irene Korpák, is going to Hungary in August to visit family. This will be her 33rd trip. I hope you all plan on visiting sometime. It is a beautiful country. If I can help you with your WPA business, please call me anytime at (734) 782-4667. Enjoy the rest of the summer and remember our members in the armed forces in your prayers.

It's always nice to see the results of WPA scholarships. For instance, on April 21, former scholarship recipient Amy Toth (pictured) graduated from the National University of Health Services located in the Chicago area. Amy received the degree of doctor of chiropractic. After her wedding to Jay Dahl on Aug. 4, she will be establishing her own practice. Way to go, Dr. Toth, and much luck with all your future endeavors. Get well wishes go out to all those not up to par, especially Lori Kalitich. Happy anniversary wishes to all those couples celebrating another year of shared happiness and love, especially John and Helen Kaluczky.

Branch 249 ^ Dayton, OH by Anne Marie Schmidt We hope everyone is enjoying their summer and spending relaxing times with family and friends. Baseball, hot dogs, ice cream-I hate to see it end.

Branch 296 Springdale, PA by Diane M. Torma ITope everyone had a great time at the golf tournament and enjoyed the new format. We had great attendance and a record participation in the golf hole sponsorship program. Thanks to everyone who supported the Scholarship Foundation throughout all of the weekend's activities. Now we will set our sights on the 7th Annual Picnic, which will be held at Penn Scenic View on Saturday, Sept 15. If you have never attended this event, please consider doing so. It is well worth the trip—just ask the thousand or so people who attend every year and enjoy the great food, pastries, music, children's tent, Chinese auction, raffles, fellowship and many other activities planned.
