We take food, litter, chew toys, blankies and, of course, money. Please note the date for our May branch meeting has been changed to May 14. We'll conduct our Join Hands Day project June 7 at the Culture Center at 10:00 a.m. Bring your shovels and fraternal camaraderie. Can't wait to see you all. Happy birthday to Joan Rect­­enwald, Dusty Allanson, Cassie Holmes, Andy McNelis, Jennifer Sullivan, Helen Molnár, Mandy McCord, Roger Nagy, Stephanie Martincsek, Kathy Reitlinger and Ursula Markovits. You are all such special people. May you all have many more. Be sure to send in your bowling and golf reservations. We are work­ing hard to make these events very special weekends. We are also filling our trip to Hungary. Hope you plan on joining us. I can't wait. Please remember our deceased members and their families in your prayers. Especially Elaine Guzik, Steve Orsargos and William Deak. May they rest in peace. We extend our deepest sympathy to the family of Mark Haas, 45, who died Feb. 5, 2014. Mark was the son­in-law of Carol and Doug Truesdell. He is also survived by his wife Vic­toria and two children, Ashley and Zachary. Please remember them all in your thoughts and prayers. Í saw this bit of information in the Hungarian newsletter published by the Hungarian Cultural Center of Northeastern Ohio: this August will contain five Fridays, five Saturdays and five Sundays. This only occurs once every 823 years. Is that strange, or what? Special happy birthday to my husband and Gabby's daddy, Tom House. Thanks for all your love and support. You are important to both of us. Pray for spring to arrive very soon. You can always reach me at 313- 418-5572 or 734-782-4667. Branch 28 Youngstown, OH by Kathy Novak Happy St. Patrick's Day! Maybe the luck of the Irish can help spring to arrive. What a winter everyone has been experiencing. We hope all our readers have been kept safe. How wonderful it was to travel to Dearborn, Mich., (snow included) for the annual White Rose Ball. The Hungarian Arts Club does a marvel­ous job preparing the youngsters for this Hungarian tradition. The evening was filled with music, good food and wonderful company. It was so nice to visit with friends we've made over the years and be­ing able to meet new ones as well. A big thank you to WPA Branch 18 for welcoming all those attending in such a warm and gracious way. Before heading back to Youngstown on the Sunday fol­lowing the gala, we attended Mass at Holy Cross Hungarian Roman Catholic Church. It's always nice to visit with the Rev. Barnabas Kiss, as he served in the Youngstown area prior to relocating to Detroit. We're looking forward to attend­ing the ball in 2015. On Sunday, March 16, the Youngstown American Hungar­ian Federation will host its annual program commemorating the 1848 Hungarian War of Independence. The event will be held at the Youngstown American Hungarian Club, 2219 Donald Ave., beginning at 2:30 p.m. The program will fea­ture a different format this year, but it will still include a guest speaker (the Rev. Louis Pinter) and a recita­tion of the famous poem, "Nemzeti Dal." We're looking forward to all the upcoming WPA events. Remember to get those reservation forms in by the deadlines so you don't miss out on all the fun. Also, watch for more details in upcoming issues about Branch 28's bus trip to the WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal-Fest in September. Many happy returns to all those celebrating a birthday or anniver­sary this month. Get well wishes to Arlene Cso­rnán, John Morey and all those under the weather. Our sincere sympathy goes out to all those who recently lost a loved one. Special thoughts are with the Dinda and Dubos families.

Branch 34 Pittsburgh, PA by Marguerite McNelis This is the winter that just won't end. Snow, snow go away! We haven't had this much snow for a few years, and I think that I can speak for quite a few people when I say enough is enough. Please take a moment and pray for all our servicemen and women, especially those in harm's way. Thank you, again, Branch 18 for the warm welcome at the White Rose Ball. It was nice to be able to spend some time with all of our friends again. It is a beautiful event. Arlene, it was great seeing you. The Rhapsody dinner was delicious as usual. We could have done without the snow, though. Last, but not least, thank you Father Barnabas for the welcome at church and the good sermon. It was a very enjoyable weekend. A special "Happy Birthday" to 22 0 March 2014 0 William Penn Life
