Branch News An Egg-sighting Event Earlier this year, the children of Branches 90, 98, 159 and 216 enjoyed an Easter Egg Hunt at St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Pottstown, Pa. The branches presented a monetary donation to help support the church. The Taste of Hungary Festival will be held at the Hungarian Reformed Church located at 365 Woodrow Ave. in Columbus on July 19 from noon until 7:00 p.m. Enjoy Magyar food and music, and the Dayton Dancers at 3:00 p.m. There will also be Hungarian items for sale. This is a great time, so plan to attend. We congratulate all those celebrating birthdays, anniversaries and new additions to their families. Get well wishes to all who have been ill or hospitalized. Hope all have a speedy recovery. We extend our sympathy to all who have recently lost a loved one, especially to the families of branch members Irma Carnevale and Árpád Sibrik. Árpád served as an officer and branch coordinator for many years. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Branch 249 Dayton, OH by Mark Schmidt June is just too short. School's out; the weather's great; there are cookouts, ballgames and vacations. It doesn't get much better than that. Yet, we made time to remember our great country. We celebrated the 70th anniversary of D-Day on June 6 and Flag Day on June 14. This month, we celebrate our independence on the 4th of July. I hope you get to watch a parade and see fireworks, as beautiful and as loud as ever. America turns 238 this year, and we are still the greatest country on earth. Locally, for Join Hands Day we gathered food, which we donated to the Northeast Churches Emergency Center Food Pantry on June 13. The food is given out to families that are still hurting during this economic recovery. We are looking forward to the 31st Annual WPA Golf Tournament & Scholarship Days on July 18 and 19. The Quicksilver Golf Club is always beautiful and challenging. The activities, from the welcome reception to the barbeque, are fraternal fun at its best. I am looking forward to spending the $15,000 from winning the hole-in-one contest. LOL! There will be a pig roast at St. Stephen Catholic Church on Aug. 17 at 1:00 p.m. Contact Michele Daley- LaFlame for details. On Aug. 24, Branch 249 celebrates St. Stephen's Day with a dinner at 1:00 p.m. at the American Czechoslovakian Club, 922 Valley St., Dayton. William Penn Life 0 July 2014 0 21
