Branch 525 Los Angeles, CA by Sarika Gotz It's been a long time since I put an article in William Penn Life. I am back to work after being off for a year due to back surgery. Now, I am looking forward to getting back to normal. I've started going to many Hungarian functions again. There have been many benefit balls, and the latest was the Masquerade Ball. My favorite is our local Hungarian club in Bloomington. We have a dinner-dance the first Sunday of every month. This club is where our branch meetings are held. The dinner-dances always have great food and are lots of fun. We need our branch members to come to our meetings and enjoy our Hungarian traditions. The ladies in the kitchen even make langos. May brings the Delegate District election meeting to select who will represent us at the General Convention in September. I hope to see all my friends back in Pittsburgh. Please contact me if you have any news to share at 909-609-8834. A family tradition that's worth savoring Joseph Wislie (right), 93, a member of Branch 296 Springdale, Pa., and his son Robert carry on the family tradition of making homemade hurka every March. The art of hurka making was passed on to Robert by Joseph’s brother, Paul, in the late 1970s. Branch 800 Altoona, PA by Vincent Frank Branch 800 wishes all mothers a blessed Mother's Day and continued blessings throughout the month of May. We thank all mothers for all they do for their families and for giving us courage and strength when things don't go well. Happy Mother's Day. Memorial Day, May 30, is a day reserved for remembering those who paid the ultimate price for our freedoms while serving our country. All of us should be thankful to the men and women who have died to protect us. So, let us honor them this Memorial Day. Birthday wishes go out to all those celebrating their birthday during this month of May. May the good Lord bless all of you. Schools will be closing in early June, but in the month of May, we should be planning where we would like to spend a vacation this summer.

Branch 8121 St. Marys, PA by Mary Lou Schutz Our members gathered for a branch meeting April 6 at the Diamond Grill Restaurant, located at St. Marys Country Club. We were honored to be joined by Endre Csornán, National Vice President-Fraternal, and his wife Arlene. They met with us in reply to our letter requesting help in keeping our branch active. Due to low attendance at branch meetings, we considered the possibility of our April meeting being our last. But, after listening to Mr. Csornán and discussing the matter further, we decided to meet for another year. A short business meeting was held to discuss correspondences and pay bills.
