Looking forward to seeing you very soon. Branch 28 Youngstown, OH by Kathy Novak What a wonderful first time experience I had at the White Rose Ball in Dearborn, Mich. The Hungarian Arts Club should be very proud of themselves for continuing such an elegant Hungarian tradition. The event was an inspiration, knowing so many young members of the Hungarian community take such pride in participating in the event. Special thanks to Helen for being our Sunday tour guide. Everyone there was so friendly and helpful. It was also nice to visit with the Rev. Barnabas Kiss, who left the Youngstown area 18 years ago to relocate to Detroit. We also had the opportunity to attend Mass at the beautiful Holy Cross Hungarian Roman Catholic Church. I'm marking my calendar now for next year's ball. On a sadder note, the last official Mass at Our Lady of Hungary Church was celebrated on Sunday, Feb. 12. Many former members of the parish, supportive community members and members of the newly-formed Holy Apostle Parish were in attendance. Celebrant was Bishop George Murry of the Diocese of Youngstown. A dinner was held following Mass, allowing people to visit and share memories. The worship sites of Holy Apostle Parish will be St. Stephen of Hungary and Sts. Peter and Paul churches. The Youngstown American Hungarian Federation will host its annual program commemorating the 1848 Hungarian War of Independence on Sunday, March 18. The event will be held at the Youngstown American Hungarian Club, 2219 Donald Ave., beginning at 2:30 p.m. We are so looking forward to all the upcoming WPA events and visiting with all our friends. Happy retirement wishes to Margie Sams. Get well wishes to Maria Goda, Leo Hrecska, Glenn Davenport and Judy Chakey. Many happy returns to the birthday and anniversary celebrants this month. Special wishes to the WPA on its 126th anniversary of fraternalism and fellowship while providing beneficial insurance products. We extend our sympathy to those who recently lost a loved one.
