Branch News On its annual summer trip, members from Branch 18 traveled to Traverse City where they visited Leelanau Cellars and two other wineries, the Music Box Museum and a lighthouse. Nice to see Youngstown recognizing Andrew Check as a participant at the YSU Festival of Arts with a photo and article in the local newspaper. The members of the Youngstown American Hungarian Club also had a booth there for the two-day event. It's always nice to let the local community know about our Hungarian pride. Happy anniversary wishes to all those couples celebrating another year of love and happiness together, especially John and Helen Kaluczky who will be celebrating their 73rd anniversary on Aug. 16. Hoping all those having a birthday this month enjoy their special day, especially Branch 28 President Steve Novak. Hungarian Night was once again held at the Lakeside Captains baseball game on July 29. Several Branch 28 members were lucky enough to attend. Hope to have some photos for next month. Get well wishes to all those not feeling up to par. Our sincere sympathy goes out to all those who recent lost a loved one. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Also, may all those attending the General Convention have an enjoyable experience with many successful achievements. See you in September. Branch 34 Pittsburgh, PA by Andy McNelis Hope everyone's summer is going great. It is hard to believe that the 125th Anniversary Gala, Convention, Hungarian Heritage Experience, and WPA Picnic are right around the comer. Time really flies. We had a great turnout of golfers this year at the WPA's Annual Golf Tournament. Quicksilver is a challenging course. The weather couldn't have been better, and the food served at the barbeque after golf was delicious. Thank you to the National Officers and Home Office staff for your help. Our sympathy and heartfelt prayers go out to the family of Margaret Stefan who passed away on July 6, 2011. Mrs. Stefan, her children and grandchildren have been WPA Branch 34 members for many years. She was 88 years old and now joins her husband Michael and the gang from St. Anne Hungarian Church in Hazelwood to watch out for us. She leaves behind two daughters and son-in-laws, four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. May she rest in peace. Happy and healthy birthday wishes go out to everyone celebrating their birthday in August and September. If you have any news you would like to share, please contact Andy McNelis at 412-421-6031.

Rakoczy-Przywara The 4th of July and all of its pageantry is history. Ever since the Coal-Miner's Memorial Weekend held over Father's Day in mid-June, Windber has been bursting with fun and excitement, with parades, picnics, motorcycle events—including the roar of the motorcycles at "Thunder in the Valley" in nearby Johnstown, Pa.-classic cars parked on both sides of Graham Avenue and fabulous fireworks. One might hope the festivities would never end! A great time of celebrating our freedom was had by all. This month's excerpt from The Windber Historical Society Newsletter (July 2011 edition, Patricia Durst Shaffer, editor) recalls on one of the most tragic events in local history: A Time We Cannot Forget: The Flood of July, 1977 Many Windber residents can recall the night of July 20,1977, when lightning circled the town and the destructive rain came ever so swiftly.
