Branch 132 South Bend, IN by the Branch 132 Officers It's been a rainy spring. The Branch 132 co-ed softball team has been rained out twice, but now are playing ball with a record of 4 wins and 2 losses. Come out and cheer on our team. On June 4, Our Lady of Hungary Church had its 2nd annual "Save Our School" campaign. There were many old friends present: Elizabeth Cifra Nemeth, Suzie and Don Katona, Pat and Frank Novak families, Paul Kozak, our friends the Lillians (Lillian Moore and Lillian Buti), Ethle Szalay Gotowka, and many others. Marge Vukovits Dudeck played many Hungarian songs and some oldies. The Ein Prosit German Band played for dancing. There was music for the young crowd in the evening. Hungarian, Polish, German, Mexican and American food was available. A good time was had by all. Hope to see you there next year. Congrats to all who made the event a success. Branch Secretary Michelle Horvath was a volunteer at a benefit for women with cancer called "Hello Gorgeous." The benefit was for all forms of cancer. A great cause, Michelle. The Branch 132 picnic will be held on July 24 at Potawatomi Park. Call 574-232-9451 if you plan on coming. Let us know how many people will attend. The branch will furnish plates, utensils, chicken, sausage and drinks. Everyone is asked to bring a vegetable, salad or dessert to share. We are looking forward to seeing you there. Our condolences to the families of Blase Laczai, Michael Vargo, and Frank Kovach. May they rest in peace. Branch 352 Coraopolis, PA by Dora McKinsey By the time you read this, July 4th will be here and gone. Too often we take our independence for granted, not even thinking about the rights and privileges we enjoy here in America. Let us not forget the sacrifices made in the past and those still being made today to keep this great country the "Land of the Free." The 28th Annual WPA Golf Tournament and Scholarship Days are being held this month on July 15 and 16 at Quicksilver Golf Club and the Pittsburgh Airport Marriott. If you are a golfer, you should try to attend one of our tournaments and enjoy this fun, fraternal event. Also, don't forget our 125th Anniversary Gala being held Sept. 3 at the Marriott Pittsburgh North. It promises to be a very special evening with entertainment from the Rajkó Hungarian Gypsy Orchestra from Budapest and a historical slide presentation of WPA. Happy birthday to all those celebrating a birthday this month. May God bless you with many more and may all of them be healthy.
