Branch News Continued from Page 19 you at these events. I can't wait. Happy July birthday to the Wolfe family, Debbie, Glenn and David. I'm going to miss you so much this year. Congrats also to Deborah Wolfe. She is a fully-licensed agent in Florida. Look out, Florida, here she comes. Congrats also to Debbie and Glenn—we now have a new "grand-dog." Her name is Tina. We have Tony and Tina now. Do I hear wedding bells? Many thanks to Grace Balaythy and George Schvarckopf for their generous donations that helped us buy animal food for Basil's Buddies. Remember Branch 18 will accept any and all donations for the animals. Thank you to all who donated so much food at our last meeting. Thanks Emma, loved the frog. Thanks also to Les and Kathy Megyeri and Robert Vargo for the very nice and special surprises. That was so nice of you. Special hello to Vivian and Richard Hollis in Florida. Nice to hear from you. Congrats to Mark Schmidt on the new job. It couldn't happen to a nicer person. But, we will miss you. Get well wishes to Deac Sabo and Tamas Markovits. Hope you're better soon. Congratulations to Diane M. Torma and George S. Charles Jr. Diane, our National Vice President- Treasurer, has been with us for 24 years. George Charles, our National President, has been with us for 37 years. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication. Congrats to Branch 14 and their officers for hosting a lovely party. Endre and Arlene Csornán, AI and Betty Vargo, Bill Bero and I attended a dinner there celebrating the 125th Anniversary of William Penn Association. We can always count on the Cleveland branch. They have consistently supported us any time we have asked. Thank you, officers Caroline Lanzara, Joanne Sedensky, Richard Sarosi, Violet Sarosi, Virginia Volter and Paul Varga. Please remember our deceased members and their families in your prayers, especially; Philomena Kadar, Loretta Toth, John Bartus, Ernest Gulban, and Mary Ann Giczi. May they rest in peace. I am now taking reservations for our Branch 18 bus to the WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal Fest. We will leave Friday, Sept. 16. The cost is $85.00. This includes the bus, one-night hotel accommodations, breakfast on Saturday, admission to the picnic and all you can eat at the picnic. Now, is that a deal or what? We are planning to pick some members up on the Ohio Turnpike. We will do all we can to make this a weekend to remember. Please call me as soon as possible to reserve your spot at either 1-734-782-4667 (home) or 1-313-418-5572 (cell). Branch 18 is on summer break. We resume meetings on Sept. 14. We meet at the Allen Park American Hungarian Reformed Church at 7:00 p.m. Have a lovely summer, stay healthy and plan on joining us at our many upcoming events. Branch 19 New Brunswick, NJ by Evelyn Bodnar It has been a very busy year. The Rev. Joseph Bodnar started a food and cash program for the needy of the New Brunswick area in October 2010. The last Saturday of each month, he has a half-hour service, then gives out food, certificates and cash. In October, we had 35 people; on June 25, 2011, we had 125 people. The food is supplied by Middlesex County businesses and members of our church. Money is donated by Rev. Bodnar and church members. Branch 19 made a monetary donation for July. On June 25, each person attending received a bag of food, $5 cash and a certificate. Each person also received a ticket for a drawing, the prize for which was a $25 certificate to Rite Aid Pharmacy. One of our church members donated 500 cloth shopping bags for the food. Each recipient must bring their bag back the next time to receive $5 cash. You can walk around town and see the beige bags with "Bayard St. Presbyterian Church" printed on them. People carry them everywhere. The New Brunswick Hungarian Festival was wonderful. We had perfect weather. WPA's booth was next to our church's booth. Rev. Bodnar and I attended the Carousel Ball and enjoyed the fellowship of Barbara and Tom House, Endre Csornán, the Vargos, Bill Bero, the Radvanys and others. Branch 28 Youngstown, OH by Kathy Novak Happy Independence Day! Hope the fireworks help everyone celebrating birthdays or anniversaries this month enjoy their special days, especially Livia Keresztesi, Julia Taylor, Maria Goda, Leonard and Lillian Sefcik, Hank and Helen Fabrizio, and John and Helen Kaluczky. Congratulations to Rachel Maria Schauer (pictured) who was named valedictorian of the class of 2011 of Labelle (Fla.) High School. Among her outstanding achievements were being named Female Art Student of the Year, completing AP Human Geography, earning honors in economics, making the honor roll, being named outstanding member of the National Honor Society and earning the Florida Academic Achievement Seal. Rachel has played the organ at her church, Mary Queen of Heaven in Labelle for four years and serves as a lector. She plans on attending Edison University in Fort Myers, Fla. She is the daughter of Frank and Liz Schauer and granddaughter of Frank and Maria Schauer. Best of luck to all those participating in this year's annual golf outing. This two-day event not only provides fun and fraternalism for those in attendance, but also proves to be a great scholarship fundraiser. The Monte Carlo Night is such a great time with food, beverages, a Chinese auction and Vegas-style table games. Can't wait to see aíl our WPA friends during this event.
