Branch 28 Youngstown, OH by Kathy Novak What a wonderful Fraternal Fest Endre Csornán, his committee, the National Directors, National Officers and members of the Home Office staff prepared for all those who attended the 10th Annual WPA Picnic on Sept. 11. The weather was absolutely perfect, and the food, music, raffles and fraternalism were outstanding. Our annual reunion with our dear friends Lucille and Charlie from New Jersey was an added treat to the day. We were also glad to get a chance to talk with Steve Mislay's daughter and family from Monroeville, Pa. It's always so nice to visit with friends at this yearly event. I think it's safe to say everyone had a great time and is planning on next year's fest. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make it such an enjoyable day for everyone. A warm welcome back to the Youngstown area goes out to Wilma Koneval who recently relocated here from Florida. It's hard to believe that plans are getting in gear for the annual Branch 28 family Christmas party to be held Saturday, Dec. 4. In conjunction with the party, the branch will hold its annual holiday scholarship raffle. Happy birthday and happy anniversary to all those celebrating William Penn Life 0 October 2010 0 23
