We are planning an outing for our branch members to the Wheeling Nailers hockey game against the Trenton (N.J.) Titans on Saturday, March 30. All our branch members are invited to attend, but seating is limited, so please call me as soon as possible to reserve your seats at 740- 264-6238. This will be the final home game for the Nailers this season, and it should be a great game. The Wheeling Nailers play at WesBanco Arena in Wheeling, W.Va. The game begins at 7:00 p.m. If you plan to attend, call me soon to reserve your tickets. Our next regular business meeting will be held Sunday, April 28, at 4:00 p.m. at 63 Meadow Lane in Wintersville, Ohio. Among the items on the agenda for this meeting will be the planning of our Join Hands Day project. We encourage all members to attend and offer their ideas for this and other branch activities. Also, please keep Sunday, June 2, open for the annual bacon roast and picnic at Warren Township Park, hosted jointly by our five WPA branches and our good friends from the Ohio Valley Hungarian American Cultural Society. More details to follow soon. So much is going on this year with William Penn events and our local branch activities. I hope to see you soon! For more information about branch activities, please call Joyce Nicholson at 740-264-6238. Members and friends of Branch 14 (from left) AI Frate, Laps Visnyovszky, Richard Sarosi, the Rt. Rev.

Branch 14 Cleveland, OH by Richard E. Sarosi Greetings from Ohio's North Coast where the Lake Erie snow machine continues to produce lake effect snow. Congratulations to Endre Csornán, National Vice President-Fraternal, who was honored by the Hungarian Arts Club at the 2013 Fehér Rózsa Bál (White Rose Ball) held at the historic Marriott Dearborn Inn in Dearborn, Mich., on Feb. 2. The WPA Official Family traveled to Michigan to be part of Endre's special night and to celebrate with him. It was a treat to meet the entire Csornán family who were introduced during the Ball. Endre's family and William Penn Association can be proud of Endre's numerous accomplishments. All I can say is that he has been a very busy man. In the spirit of fraternalism, a few members of Branch 14 assisted the Womens' Guild of The First Hungarian Reformed Church in the making of kolbász and hurka. Branch 14 members included FHRC Women's Guild President Violet Sarosi, Ernie and Richard Sarosi, Paul Varga, Albert Frate and even the church minister, the Rt. Rev. Dr. Csaba Krasznai. Other church members participating were Lajos Visnyovszky, Janet Tajgiszer and Susan and Steve Lorincz. A total of 240 pounds of kolbász and 165 pounds of hurka were made over a period of three days. It was a delicious experience and one that could be repeated sometime in the future. The WPA Bowling Tournament registration forms are ready. Please join us for a fun filled fraternal weekend May 3 and 4 where our adult and juvenile members will display their bowling skills. Adult bowlers and non-bowlers can visit the nearby Meadows Casino and try their luck at the games. Mark your calendar and make your hotel reservation for a great weekend. On March 15, we commemorate the heroes in Hungarian history who fought and gave their life for freedom in Hungary during the 1848 freedom fight. WPA scholarship information and an application form can be found in this issue of William Penn Life, beginning on Page 14. Please pay close attention to the deadlines for mailing application materials. Many fraternal activities will take place in 2013 for our members to enjoy, including: 18 0 March 2013 0 William Penn Life
