Branch News was a joyous event. Obviously, we missed each other over the winter. Thank you to all of you who came. Our next meeting is on June 5. Remember, we meet at the American Hungarian Cultural Center at 7:00 p.m. Please join us. Remember also our Join Hands Day project will be at the Cultural Center on June 1 at 10:00 a.m. We are busy preparing for our annual golf tournament on July 19 and 20. Sure hope you are planning to join us. Our Hungarian Heritage Experience is the first week in August. I understand it is already filled. Thank you. I am taking reservations for our branch's bus trip on Sept. 6 and 7 to the WPA Picnic. Your cost is $90 per person. That includes bus ride, hotel, meals and admission to the picnic. The deal of the century. Call me ASAP. Some of us are lucky enough to be going to Europe in September. I'm so excited to finally see Dracula. I hope. Come join us. Feel free to contact me anytime at 1-734-782-4667 or 1-313-418-5572 if I can help you with your needs or suggestions. Happy Father's Day to all our wonderful fathers. Mine was a real treasure. Be sure to give these wonderful men in our lives a wonderful day. Gabby sends her love to Daddy. Think "golf," "picnic" and "Dracula." Branch 27 Toledo, OH by Robert A. Ivancso Branch 27 will host a night with the Toledo Mud Hens on Saturday, Aug. 3, when the Mud Hens play the Columbus Clippers at Fifth Third Field. Game time is 7:00 p.m. Make sure you stay in your seats after the game to witness the tremendous Fifth Third Field postgame fireworks display. The fireworks will begin approximately 15 minutes after the game. There will also be a special silent auction for a 1921 Mud Hens throwback jersey. The current Mud Hens team will go back in time as they wear jerseys from the 1921 Toledo Mud Hens team, which included Jim Thorpe on its roster. The jerseys will be auctioned off silently during the game. All proceeds from the auction will benefit the team's charitable partners. For more information, contact Bob Ivancso at either 419-450-0915 or wpa27bob@bex.net, or Paula Bodnar at 419-460-7214. Branch 28 Youngstown, OH by Kathy Novak Best of luck to all those graduating from high school and college. The world is full of many opportunities for you to experience. WPA succeeded again when it hosted its second fun bowling event. The number of teams doubled from last year, and more youths joined in the festivities. Everyone had fun while sharing time with friends from far and near. The banquet, which followed the bowling, was once again a fantastic meal. Raffles were held with profits going to the scholarship fund. We thank the committee for offering such a wonderful day of fun, food and fraternalism. My father and I attended a traditional Latin Mass at St. Titus Church in Aliquippa, Pa., held to honor Blessed Emperor Karl of Austria- Hungary. The support given by WPA was greatly appreciated. One of the speakers, Raymond de Souza, said he will be traveling to Budapest in the near future and that he won't leave Hungary until he sees the crown of St. Stephen. Before we know it, we will be watching the Lakeside Captains on Hungarian Night. It's a nice tribute to have our heritage shared at a community event. Thanks for a job well done are extended to the Magyar Club of Dayton. Their anniversary dinner-dance was a very entertaining evening with dancing, music, friendship and, of course, good Hungarian food and pastries. We enjoyed meeting new acquaintances as well as sharing time with our friends there. Thanks to Gerry D. Clown for the nice new feature in our magazine for our younger members. It gives them a chance to be part of the publication and grow up experiencing WPA as a great part of their lives. Remember to call Steve at 330- 746-7704 or Frank at 330-549-2935 to reserve your space on our branch's bus traveling to the Great Fraternal Fest on Sept. 7. Get well wishes to all our members who have been experiencing health problems, especially Barbara House, Irene Nemeth, Joan Mauerman, Maria Goda, Nick and Teresa Toth and Arlene Csornán. Happy birthday wishes to everyone celebrating another wonderful year, especially Branch 28 Vice President Frank Schauer. Anniversary wishes to all those loving couples marking another year of love, especially John and Patti Morey as they celebrate their golden anniversary. Congratulations! Special thoughts are with those who have recently lost a loved one. Looking forward to seeing our members in July at the golfing event. May all those strong, guiding, and loving fathers have a wonderful, special day. Does your life insurance need to be updated? Do you have questions about life insurance or annuities? If so, please call either Kathy at 330- 746-7704 or Alan at 330-482-9994. Happy Summer! Branch 34 Pittsburgh, PA by Marguerite McNelis It is finally warming up in Pittsburgh. Hope everyone is getting ready for the golf outing, Hungarian Heritage Experience and the Great Fraternal Fest in September. Hope to see everyone again at these enjoyable functions. Please take a moment and pray for all our service men and women, especially those in harm's way. We at Branch 34 extend our sympathy to the family of Dawn Ward. She was a gracious lady. May she rest in peace. Branch 34 was pleased to participate in the "Join Hands for Plunger" campaign. The branch donated monetarily to the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. We try our best to help those in need. This year's WPA bowling tour-20 0 June 2013 0 William Penn Life
