2012-08-01 / 8. szám
Branch News Members of Branch 28 were among the many Hungarian Americans who celebrated Hungarian Night in June at the Lake County Captains baseball game in Eastlake, Ohio. garian picnic in Hiram, Ohio. Where the heck is Hiram, you ask? I said the same thing. But, I will never forget the wonderful time I had. Their grounds are super, the gate magnificent, food was wonderful and the people are second to none. I hope we get invited next year. Thank you Endre Csornán, Richard Sarosi and Kathy and Steve Novak for representing the WPA Board of Directors. Special thanks to Bob Jackson for sending me that great Hungarian article. No, I never saw that before. It was great to talk to you. Get well wishes to A1 and Olga Wansa, Mary Tirpák, Sandra Stocks and Emma Poliska. Hope you are all better soon. Sincere sympathy to Richard and John Toth on the death of their mother, Elaine Toth. Elaine was a staunch supporter of all things William Penn. Sympathy also to Dennis and Kathy Chobody on the death of his sister Sylvia. I didn't know her, but I know the Chobody family and they are a family you can count on for anything. Windber, Pa., and Michigan also lost a strong supporter of all things William Penn and Hungarian. Shirley Rakoczy-Przywara was first a Branch 18 member and then moved to Windber where she became president of the Windber branch. She will be truly missed. Sally Balint Kaczmar also passed away. She was the only child of Joe and Mary Balint. I'm sure you remember Joe Balint. Joe had a Hungarian orchestra for many years. Rest in peace dear friends. Kudos to Anne Marie Schmidt and her Auditing Committee members. Great meeting. Branch 18 recently returned from our annual trip up north. We had 33 members on the trip. We visited museums, ate a pasty (first time for me), cruised the Soo Locks on a dinner cruise, toured Tahquamenon Falls (in the rain) and gambled. Hello to Fred (Kay Montsios' brother). We had a great time. I am now working on next June's trip. I believe we will be at the Quad cities in Illinois. I'll keep you informed. Mark your calendars around the week of June 15, 2013. Happy August birthday Suzi Robison and Dianne Charles. Happy anniversary Carol and Doug Truesdell. Hope you all have many more. The HACC is busily planning their annual Pig Roast for Sept. 15. This is always such a fun event. Please plan on attending. Remember, without your support these events will cease to exist. The Hungarian Arts Club is also preparing for the annual White Rose Ball. The event will be on Feb. 2, 2013. They are searching for girls of Hungarian descent to be debutantes. This year Endre Csornán will be the guest of honor. WPA will be well represented. Call Linda Enyedi for info at 1-248-352-0927. I just read something I want to share with you: "We don't stop being active because we get old, we get old because we stop being active." (A gem from Satchel Paige.) I certainly gave you things to keep you active. Come join us. You are always welcome. Call me anytime with any questions; I am always available. Flome: 1-734-782-4667.

What a great time Branch 28 members had at the Lake County Captains game. Aiden Schauer was lucky to receive a ball thrown into the seats during the game. WPA was a sponsor for this "Hungarian Heritage Night," and National Director Richard Sarosi and I set up a display area for those attending the game to learn a little more about WPA. A photo was taken of some of those in attendance, but an additional 13 members were also at the stadium. Get well wishes to Irene Devlin, 18 0 August 2012 0 William Penn Life
