Branch News Continued from Page 15 Kramer on your recent wedding. We send you much love and best wishes. Thank you, Emery Breznai and Deac Sabo for thinking of the WPA for your investments. We will take good care of you. We received a wonderful card from the members of the indoor U18 William Penn soccer team, thanking our branch for once again sponsoring the team. The card was signed by each member of the team. Our donation went towards the team's registration fee. Get well, Rocky Borsa, Emma Poliska and Ann and Steve Nagy. Hope you're all better real soon. Please remember in your prayers our deceased members and their families, especially Barbara Ann Lewis (sister of Deac Sabo and Robert Sabo), Margaret Danko (wife of Steve Danko), Robert Hovizi, Helen Jones, Rudolph Clum and Charles Gross. May they rest in peace. The beautiful White Rose Ball has come and gone. What a wonderful time we all had. I want to thank all the Official Family members and friends who came from great distances in such horrible weather. Thankfully, Michigan had no snow, but so many other places did. Our debutantes were gorgeousespecially Ashley Haas and Christina Marchelletta—and their escorts were handsome. When I get pictures you can see for yourselves. I was the honorary chairperson for the evening. Many thanks to the WPA and Hungarian Arts Club for their support. The scholarship recipient, Lara Semetko, is also a WPA member. When she opened her mouth to sing you could have heard a pin drop. We are hoping you will hear her at our General Convention in 2011. She has promised to come. You will be amazed. Many thanks also to your local officers-Helen Molnár, Rose Antal, Carol and Doug Truesdell and Mike Oberg—for helping me choreograph everything long distance. I also need Barbara A. House (left), vice chairman of the WPA Board of Directors, welcomes WPA member Lara Semetko to the annual White Rose Ball in Michigan. Lara, a gifted singer, performed during the evening’s festivities. to thank my husband Tom; he gets pushed into the background when I get so busy, but he always gives me plenty of support. Thank you to all of you. Thank you, Steve Szatmári, for the lovely dinner on Friday night. You know we all loved the food, especially the kocsonya. Happy birthday to Helen Molnár, Deac Sabo and Ursula Markovits. May you have many more. Happy birthday also to Tom House. I love you. Remember, daylight savings time begins on March 14. Turn your clocks ahead. Personally, I wish they would leave the time alone. Branch 18 begins its regular meeting schedule on April 21. We meet at the American Hungarian Reformed Church at 7:00 p.m. We will be finalizing plans for our annual June trip to Kewadin and for our Join Hands Day project. Please try to attend so we can have your input. We need all the help we can get. Many hands make Join Hands Day a little easier. Please remember I am always , available to our members. My cell number is 313-418-5572. My Florida number is 321-752-0375. Stay warm and please pray for an early spring. Branch 28 Youngstown, OH by Kathy Novak Think spring! I think everyone will agree this winter has been one for the record books. Hoping everyone has survived the overloads of snow in most areas. In keeping with tradition, the Youngstown American Hungarian Federation will host a commemorative program for the 1848 War of Independence. The program will be held Sunday, March 14, at the Youngstown Hungarian Club, 2219 Donald Ave., beginning at 2:30 p.m. The program will include guest speakers Leslie Polgar Sr. (in Hungarian) and Michael Verich (in English). Traditional music and songs will be performed by local talents, including Andrew Check, and the Youngstown Hungarian dance group will perform. The recitation of traditional poems will round out the program. A social will be held afterwards. While joining together for a Valentine social, members of the Youngstown Hugarian Club and the Youngstown American Hungarian Federation were able to view a special presentation of the documentary film, "Tom from the Flag." Mixed emotions were felt by all in attendance. It's such a sad feeling to watch the events of 1956. Congratulations to all our birthday and anniversary honorees this month. Get well wishes go out to all those feeling under the weather, especially Terry Check Sr. who recently underwent surgery. We extend our sincere condolences to all those who have recently experienced the loss of a loved one, especially the family of the Rev. Stephen Horvath.
