Branch 226 McKeesport, PA by Judit Ganchuk I keep catching myself singing, "Summer breeze, makes me feel fine/ Blowing through the jasmine in my mind." Still one month left of sum­mer vacation; make it special! Happy birthday wishes to all our members celebrating their special day in August. Also happy wedding anniversary to all those celebrating this month. Keep our military, here and abroad, in your thoughts and prayers.

The enter­tainment will include three great performance groups, including the William Penn Association Magyar Folk Dancers. The Free Hungarian Reformed Church of McKeesport will again be participating in the International Village ethnic food and music fest. They've been volunteering at this event for more than 50 years. Their volunteers spend three days straight baking, cooking, serving, selling and cleaning.

We had lots of fun at the WPA Golf Tournament. We had a great time meeting all the people at the Friday scholarship meeting, where lots of money was raised for the next generation's higher edu­cation. Best of all, we enjoyed the WPA casino night, where everyone seemed to be a big winner. Can't say as much for my golfing on Saturday, but I'm sticking to my knee as an excuse. July started with a bang (the 4th) and ended with a whimper (my golf scores), but now we have to look forward to the lazy, hazy dog days of August. August is when all the sales start for the upcoming school year, and usually later in the month is when schools start. Family vacation mode is winding down, baseball is in full swing, football practice has started, soccer is kicking in gear and band practice is marching along. At William Penn, the Hungarian Heritage Experience starts August 2 at Scenic View. Are you going? Locally, Branch 249 is hosting our annual Chicken Paprikas Dinner on Aug. 23, at 1:00 p.m. at Queen of Martyrs Church, located at 4128 Ce­dar Ridge Road, just off North Dixie Drive near the old traffic circle. WPA members are free and guests are $10. We're looking forward to other local events, including the Magyar Club of Dayton bacon fry for mem­bers and their families on Sept. 13 at 1:00 p.m. at Sinclair Park, and the Guylás Fest in honor of the '56ers Oct. 23 from 5:00 p.m. to when the fun and food runs out at the Ein­tracht Club. More info next issue. On a personal note, I want to thank everyone who sent me cards and well wishes during my recent knee surgery. They meant a lot to me. It seems that Dayton branch members took advantage of BOGO knee surgery coupons this month. William Penn Life 0 August 2015 0 21
