Branch News Claus. Members Jenna and Gillian Benns brought Flat Stanley to the party, and he had a great time seeing Santa, Sparkles and the Balloon Guy. I wonder if Flat Stanley is planning another journey in 2013? We will have to wait and see. Branch 14 would like to express our sympathy to the family of former National Director and Secretary of the Board Emeritus Frank J. Radvany who recently passed away. Please keep the family in your prayers. We also extend our sympathy to those members who recently lost a loved one.

Your Board of Directors is trying very hard to visit as many of your branches as possible. Please let us know all about your branch activities as soon as possible so we can publish them in your William Penn Life. I will be leaving Florida very soon to attend the Hungarian Arts Club's annual White Rose Debutante Ball. It is always such a wonderful event. This year is even more special because the guest of honor will be National Vice President-Fraternal Endre Csornán. Congratulations, Endre. We are very proud of you. I will tell you all about it next month. Thank you, Helen Molnár, for being such a wonderful surrogate sister and daughter. I appreciate all your help. Thank you so much. Please remember, I am always available to you. My cell number is 313-418-5572. Think "Bowling Tournament." Think "Quad Cities tour." Best of all, think "Spring."
