Branch News The Gypsy Strings (at right) entertain guests-inciuding members of Branch 8 Johnstown, Paattending the “All Things Hungarian" event held June 22 in Cambria City, Pa. Branch 8 Johnstown, PA by Alexis C. Kozak Branch 8 would like to wish everyone a happy and safe summer. Best wishes to our Branch Secretary Dorothy Kedves who is recovering from a knee replacement. Dorothy is doing very well, as we all knew she would. We all hope that she will be at Scenic View with her potato peeler in September. Dorothy and Ernest Kedves, our branch president, enjoy the fellowship shared each September at Scenic View in preparation for the Great Fraternal Fest. We are all looking forward to Sept. 11 at Scenic View. Members, if you've never experienced this great day, you owe it to yourselves. The event gets bigger and better every year. Fun for all ages. Try the experience: you will love it. If you need any information or details about the Fest on Sept. 11 at Scenic View, please feel free to call me at the number below. On June 22, the Johnstown Symphony Auxiliary and Bottle Works (Ethnic Arts Center) of Johnstown held a dinner-dance, "All Things Hungarian." The evening in Cambria City was changed into a night in Budapest. What a first class affair, with authentic Hungarian music, food and wine. The food was prepared by Darlington Inn and music provided by the Gypsy Strings led by George Bátyi. The outdoor event was like a sidewalk café on the Danube River. We were all thrilled that National Vice President-Fraternal Endre Csornán was in attendance, along with his lovely wife Arlene and the Király's from Somerset County. Mr. Csornán made a speech on behalf of our great Association. Everyone was very charmed by Mr. Csoman's charismatic personality and his genuine love for our culture. Thanks Endre. It is wonderful and refreshing that Johnstown is still trying to keep the ethnicity alive that is so wonderful for all of us, past, present and future. Roots are the stability to our future. Branch 8 would like to have a bacon roast this fall, but we need your response! Please call 814-242-0000 and reserve a seat. We will then contact you with a date and time. We hope to see our friends from Branch 8 for a day of reminiscing, song and good food. Your life insurance needs or those great rates on WPA annuities can be discussed with me at anytime. Please give me a call at 814-242-0000. WPA has among the best annuity rates anywhere. Invest in your future. Enjoy the rest of your summer, and God bless you all.
