Branch 34 Pittsburgh, PA by Andy McNelis Hope everyone is enjoying their summer and getting ready for the golf outing, Hungarian Heritage Experience and last, but certainly not least, the great fraternal picnic in September. Hope to see everyone again at these enjoyable functions! Branch 34 got together with a few other branches, cub scouts and boy scouts to weed, plant and mulch at Scenic View on a rainy, cool May 22. What a day, but many hands made the work load easier. The entrance and other prominent areas look great, thanks to everyone's hard work. Special thanks to Endre and friends for the delicious food and hospitality. Congratulations and love to our great-niece Gábriellé for a talented dance performance at the Cabaret Theater and South Hills County Club. She and her partner Zach did a captivating Rumba, Paso Doble and Cha Cha. They just returned from a show in Philadelphia and won one first place medal and two second place medals for their age group. She also won three freestyle events for the Brentwood Swim Team in the South West Conference Relays. She is a member of the Junior Honor Society and made high honors this year. We are very proud of you. Keep up the good work. Congratulations to our grandson Donovan for being selected for the All Stars. Congratulations also to our niece Nicole Vámos (now Nicole Healy) and our nephew Bob. They were married on June 11. That is also my brother-in-law's birthday. It was a beautiful day and she was a beautiful bride (and handsome groom, of course). We love you both. Happy and healthy birthday wishes to everyone celebrating their birthdays in July, especially Donovan and Andy. Many, many more.

Rakoczy Przywara The summer season has finally arrived here in Windber, Pa. The town celebrated the Memorial Day weekend by unveiling the new Military Wall in downtown Windber at the site of the Army tank on Jefferson Avenue. The Father's Day Coal Miner's Weekend was held on June 18,19 and 20. Lots of fun things were planned for the weekend, and I hope you had a chance to attend some events, such as the street dance, classic car show and many other memorable things. The Windber Coal Heritage Museum and the Arcadia Theatre (where I serve as communications director for the live stage shows presented each month) was open for touring pleasures, as well as other prominent and noteworthy places in town. All are worthwhile sites to visit and experience in Windber. There are a number of fine restaurants in town for your dining pleasure, including Rizzo's Italian Restaurant, Patty's Restaurant, Mimo's Pizzeria, and of course, the Windber Hotel Restaurant. As we approach the 4th of July celebration, my family—the Rakoczy's-will be gathering at the Windber Recreation Park for a reunion, Hungarian-style. Lastly, please remember 9-11 and plan to attend the WPA Picnic in Rockwood, Pa., (near Somerset) for a wonderful Hungarian experience! My sincerest thanks to all involved in making it a wonderful annual event. Enjoy a safe summer! 24 0 July 2010 0 William Penn Life
