Branch 129 Columbus, OH by Debbie Lewis Well, 2015 has arrived. I'm not sure if it is because we are all getting older but it seems as if 2014 flew by. Hope everyone had a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year. We welcome our newest branch member, Oliver Thames. We would like to present our officers for 2015-2016. They are: Margaret Boso, president; Terry Albert, vice president; Margaret Leonardo, secretary; Debbie Lewis, treasurer; and Diane Walker and Jimmy Lewis, auditors. Congratulations to all. Branch 129 thanks the Home Office for its help in making our annual Christmas party a successful event. We started off with entertainment for the children followed by a delicious Hungarian meal cooked by the Hungarian Culture Club. Santa came and visited with the kids, and each child was given a monetary gift, toy, McDonald's gift card and a bag of goodies. Door prizes were given out to many adult attendees. We would like to thank everyone who helped set up for the party and all who stayed to help clean up. The Hungarian Reformed Church, located at 365 Woodrow Ave. in Columbus, will have a program on Sunday, Jan. 11, following the 10:00 a.m. service. Soup will be served at 11:15 a.m. followed by the program "Life Stories of Two Local Hungarians."
