Branch News Branch 10 Barton, OH Branch 40 Martins Ferry, OH Branch 248 Monaville, WV Branch 349 Weirton, WV Branch 8164 Steubenville, OH by Joyce Nicholson Hello from the WPA branches from Barton, Martins Ferry, Weirton, Steubenville and Monaville! We were busy with several Join Hands Day projects this year through our branches. We mulched the trees we planted last year and planted a few more flowers in the flower bed at Sam Donaldson Park in Wintersville. We collected and do­nated newspapers to be used in the Hounds Haven animal shelter. We also collected and donated maga­zines to those currently residing at the Country Club Manor Nursing Home. Another of our Join Hands Day projects this year was to donate an auction basket to the Bridgeport (Ohio) Volunteer Fire & Emergency Department fundraiser. They rely on donations and fundraisers to meet the needs of their department. Chief Mark Subasic was grateful to WPA for helping them. September is going to be a very busy month. It begins with the WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal-Fest at Sce­nic View on Saturday, Sept. 8. That's always an enjoyable time. That day also happens to be Nick Toth's 90th birthday. We wish him a very happy birthday. On Sunday, Sept. 16, WPA and the Ohio Valley Hungarian Ameri­can Cultural Society will co-host a fall picnic and bacon roast, begin­ning at 1:00 p.m. at Warren Town­ship Park, Yorkville, Ohio. Our next branch meeting will be Sunday, Sept. 30, at 63 Meadow Lane, Wintersville, Ohio. We'll discuss plans for our participation in WPA's Holiday Basket program. Mark Subasic, chief of the Bridgeport (Ohio) Volunteer Fire & Emergency Department, accepts from WPA Branch Coordinator Joyce Nicholson a prize basket donated by WPA Branches 10, 40, 248, 349 and 8164. The basket will be a prize in the department's fundraising auction. If you have any news you would like to share, or for information about branch activities, please call Joyce Nicholson at 740-264-6238. Branch 14 Cleveland, OH by Richard E. Sarosi & Dawn D. Ward The 29th Annual WPA Golf Tourna­ment & Scholarship Days at Chest­nut Ridge Golf Resort & Conference Center in Blairsville, Pa., was the place to be on July 21 if you wanted to avoid the sun and heat. We had a beautiful cloudy day with some rain, no sun and much cooler temperatures that provided great relief to our golfers and volun­teers. The WPA Home Office staff, along with the many volunteers from the branches, conducted a wonderful weekend filled with much activity. The Horvath family from Branch 14 had 13 members present, and nine were big winners for the raffle, Chinese Auction and golf. Con­gratulations to all of the winners at the golf outing. The family's lucky streak began on June 16 when Carol Horvath was the big winner at the 4th Hungarian Heritage Night where she won a flat screen TV. We would like to send get well wishes to Branch 14 Auditor Vir­ginia Volter who is on a slow road to recovery. We wish her continued healing, and we hope to see her at WPA and Branch 14 functions in the near future. In addition, we send get well thoughts and wishes for a speedy recovery to Arlene Csornán, wife of National Vice President- Fraternal Endre Csornán. We hope to see her up and about real soon. The Branch 14 bus trip to the WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal-Fest on Saturday, Sept. 8, is ready to go. The picnic is held at Penn Scenic View in Rockwood, Pa. For those who haven't seen the WPA grounds, you will be surprised as to the beautiful location. Your admission includes an all-you-can-eat chicken paprikás, mushroom paprikás, dumplings, gulyás, kolbász, hot dogs, bacon fry, coffee, soda and more. There will be games for the children and dancing. Items for sale include tickets for the Chinese auction, palacsinta, funnel cake and pastries. Seating on the bus is avail­able on a first-come/ first-served 22 0 September 2012 0 William Penn Life
