Branch 28 Youngstown, OH by Kathy Novak What a wonderful two days the 27th Annual WPA Golf Tournament was. Everyone had a great time enjoying time with friends, chances on winning very nice items on the Chinese auction, golfing on the beautiful course and eating the delicious food available. Once again, the Home Office staff, National Officers and Board of Directors did an outstanding job of preparing such a great scholarship fund raising event. To show Branch 28's support for its two multi-year golf tournament participants-Sonny and John Tollas—the branch purchased shirts for them to wear at this year's event. The shirts advertised WPA and Branch 28 Youngstown, Ohio. Congratulations to Terrence Check Sr. who recently retired from his teaching career. We hope you have many years of spare time with much enjoyment. It seems like no matter where you go, you find a fellow WPA member. Recently, my dad and 1 attended a picnic in Hiram and sat with William Takacs and his daughter from the Cleveland area. Both are WPA members, and Mr. Takach has attended the annual WPA Picnic. Also, while working at the Youngstown State University festival of the arts, I was talking to a gentleman about Hungarian food. He mentioned he and his wife attended a wonderful picnic where they ate some really good food. After a few minutes of conversation, I learned the picnic was our own Great Fraternal Fest. We hope Art and Vera Szőke enjoyed their belated 60th anniversary celebration over the 4th of July weekend. All their children and most of their grandchildren came to the Youngstown area to celebrate this wonderful milestone. Best wishes to them and to all the other couples marking another year of wedded bliss. Special birthday wishes go out to Branch 28 President Steve Novak and everyone else celebrating their special day. Get well wishes are sent to everyone feeling under the weather, especially Rachel and Alyssa Schauer, Irene Devlin and Ferenc Goda. Great job on the new publication. So many people are enjoying the special feature articles, as they may not be able to visit in person the locations discussed in the articles. We're looking forward to the Great Fraternal Fest on Sept. 11. Seats are still available on the branch's bus trip to Scenic View. Call Steve at 330-746-7704 or Frank at 330-549-2935 to reserve your seat. We offer our deepest sympathy to all who recently experienced the loss of a loved one, especially to Nick and Shirley Kotik and William Vasvary. For your life insurance and annuity needs, please call Kathy at 330-746-7704 or Alan at 330-482-9994.
