How WPA members are marking this special year in our Association's history Branch 149 What a wonderful time we had in Dayton, Ohio, celebrating the 125th anniversary of William Penn Association. The officers of Branch 249 would like to express our sincere gratitude to the 75 members and guests who attended the celebration held Aug. 14 at St. Stephen’s Catholic Church Hall. A traditional chicken paprikas dinner was served with authentic Hungarian hors d’oeuvres, wine and pastries. Music before, during and after dinner was provided by the Crim Walker Wynn String Trio from Wright State University, who did an excellent job serenading us with classic Hungarian songs. Special recognition was paid to our 50-year members, who have faithfully supported our branch and Association throughout the years. A special thank you is extended to Branch Coordinator/President Michele Daley-LaFlame for coordinating and hosting this event, and to the many volunteers who worked so hard in preparing and serving the food. We thank everyone for making this a memorable day and hope you had a wonderful time. - by Anne Marie Schmidt These 50-year members were honored by Branch 249 during its 125th Anniversary Celebration Aug. 14: (front, l-r) Beatrice Sabo, Anna Kertesz, Jesse Stefanies, Mary Louise Stefanies, John Demeter, Ethel Vance, Elsie Koos and Margaret Keferl; (back, l-r) Margaret Horvath, Charles Mobley, Mary Elizabeth Lynch, Martin Tarkany, Carl Likovetz, Anne Marie Schmidt, Louis Taylor, Anna Penny and Charlotte Stefanies.
