Branch News Young members of Branch 129 welcome Santa Claus to the branch’s annual Christmas party.

The children were entertained by a balloon artist who made something for each of them. The meal was catered by the Cultural Club of the Hungarian Reformed Church in Columbus. We had an excellent meal consisting of cabbage rolls, sausage and sauerkraut, fried chicken, scalloped potatoes, veggies and kiflis. After the meal, Santa visited and gave the children gift bags provided by the Home Office as well as candy and a monetary gift. The adults each received a calendar and goodie bag provided by the Home Office. Carols were sung and door prizes given out. All seemed to have a great time.

Sometimes it's hard to find the positive things that lift our spirits from the doldrums of winter, but birthday parties are a great way to gather with friends and enjoy good food. Some birthday parties are more of a special occasion than others, and that's the case with Julia E. Genes of McKeesport, Pa., who turned 96 in January. Julia (pictured left) has been a William Penn Association member for more than 30 years. She likes attending her church and its events and enjoys reading the newspaper, watching the Game Show Network, and being with her family, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. She's even been able to travel to Hungary with her sisters and granddaughter, Malvene. She welcomes people to call her "Gramma" with a bright smile on her face; so now you too can wish her "Happy Birthday, Gramma!"
