Branch 132 South Bend, IN by the Branch Officers On Dec. 9, Branch 132 held its annual children's Christmas party. Forty-two adults and 20 children were present. The pizza was delicious, and a good time was had by all. The children received gift cards and candy. It was good to see Mary and Jack Vukovits and some of their family, Joyce Sárvári and family, Theresa and Erv Nowaczewski, Jim and Rita Berta, Sue and John Marshal, Don and Anna Czajkowski, John Burus and members of the ball teams and Branch President Mike Horvath and family. We got a call from Janice Hankins thanking us for remembering her mother, Elizabeth Gerencsér. We also received a call from Júliáimé Kersztes Flowers who lives in Vermont. We saw in the South Bend Tribune that she and her husband were celebrating their 50th anniversary. That is how we get information: we check the paper and check the William Penn roster of members. Any help you can give, call me at 574-232-9451. Our next meeting will be on March 5 at 6:30 p.m. at Martin's Café on Ireland Road. On March 6, Branch 132 will celebrate its fourth year of reorganization. Our thanks to all who are keeping the branch active. Our condolences to the family of Chester Botka. May he rest in peace.
