Branch 18 Lincoln Park, MI by Barbara A. House At this writing, we are busily prepar­ing for our annual WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal-Fest. We at Branch 18 have more on our bus to the picnic than ever before. Many are first-timers. I can't wait to see you all again. I was fortunate to attend this year's Hungarian Heritage Experi­ence. Many thanks to Endre Csornán for putting it all together with Home Office help. Thank you to Imre and Tamas for being such excellent teachers, to lea and Ursula for many great meals, to John for always being available when needed, to our Of­ficial Family for all their support and, mainly, to our wonderful students. Your never-ending quest to learn will keep this event going forever. See you next year. On Aug. 12, Endre, Bill Bero and I journeyed to Youngstown, Ohio, for the city's annual Hungarian Day cel­ebration. National Director Richard Sarosi and his family also attended as a show of support for National Director Kathy Novak and all our wonderful Youngstown members. We had a spectacular time. I'm sure that with your support, this won­derful day will continue for years to come. I sure plan on being there again. On Aug. 14, many Official Family members supported the Interna­tional Village in McKeesport, Pa. We went especially for the Hungarian food and the booth and to see the William Penn Association Magyar Folk Dancers. They get better every time we see them. They are led by Judit Borsay. We were particularly lucky to be there when Judit's boy­friend, Perry Ganchuk, proposed to her after he asked her father, the Rev. Daniel Borsay, for permission. Many best wishes and congratulations to this very special and loved couple. On Aug. 18 and 19, we visited Toledo, Ohio, to join in their St. Stephen's Day celebration. Many thanks to Endre Csornán, Kathy and Steve Novak and Tom House for all their help at the WPA booth. I hope you are taking advantage of these many Hungarian events. You know, without you, these events will cease to exist. Please support as many as you can. The Hungarian Arts Club White Rose Ball will be held Feb. 2, 2013. The Club is looking for debutantes of Hungarian descent to take part in this event. Please contact Linda Enyedi at 248-352-0927 for more in­formation. We are pleased the Club has chosen to honor Endre Csornán. Please mark your calendars and plan to attend. It is always such a won­derful evening. The next Branch 18 meeting will be held Oct. 10 at 7:00 p.m. at the Hungarian American Cultural Cen­ter on Goddard Avenue in Taylor, Mich. Please remember our deceased members and their families in your prayers. Get well wishes to Mary Tir­pák, Sandra Stocks, Emma Poliska, Julia and Julius Bubenko and Doris Schvarckopf. Hope you are all better soon. Happy October birthday to George Charles, Richard Toth, John E. Lovász and Carol Truesdell. May you all have many more. You are such special people. Happy anniversary to Debbie and Glenn Wolfe. Congratulations on your new home. We love you...a lot. See you soon. Remember Tommy and I will be in Europe on the WPA tour. I'll tell you all about it when we get back. I can always be reached on my cell at 313-418-5572. Happy Fall season. It is always so beautiful here in Michigan. Branch 28 Youngstown, OH by Kathy Novak Wow! What a WPA-filled summer, with so many events to attend! The golf tournament in July was super. As always, the committee provided two fun-filled days of fraternal activities. We thank the committee for all their hard work and congratulate all the winners. August brought about many activities. On Aug. 10, there was the very well-attended graduation din­ner and program for the Hungarian Heritage Experience Class of 2012. It was obvious those who attended the classes had a wonderful time and learned a lot. The program was great as was the dinner. We applaud the teachers and students for keeping the Hungarian language and tradi­tions alive. On Aug. 12, we were among the many people who attended Youngstown's annual Magyar Nap. The Youngstown Hungarian Federa­tion graciously received help from William Penn Life 0 October 2012 0 19
