Branch News Branch 89 Homestead, PA by Lisa S. Toth-Maskarinec Well, the summer months are be­hind us and it's football season. Go Pitt! Go Steelers! Congratulations to the new Board of Directors. It was great to see so many familiar faces at the Conven­tion. Branch 89 distributed four Holiday Baskets to some of our less fortunate members for Thanksgiv­ing. We thank the Home Office for supporting this endeavor. We at Branch 89 are eagerly preparing for our annual children's Christmas party Dec. 5. As in the past, we will be having Cosmic Bowling for our younger members. Registration is at 12:30 and the lights will go down and the music up at 1:00 p.m. We also have it on good authority that Santa will be making a visit. So, please make your reser­vations as soon as possible. When calling we will need the names of the bowlers and ages and also if any parents will be accompanying the children and also bowling. Lanes are limited so, get your reservations in now! Plans are also underway to make fresh Hungarian kolbász for the holidays. A date has not been set for that project. If interested in order­ing any kolbász, please call Mark or Lisa Maskarinec at 412-872-5022 for further details. Another fundraiser we're looking at is making stuffed cabbage rolls for the holidays or possibly sometime soon after. Further details to follow. Also, we'd like to have a "Night at the Movies" and start up monthly dinners. If anyone has any more sugges­tions or ideas for branch activities, please let us know. While we may not be as big as some of the other branches, we are still strong, and we look forward to meeting a lot of our members in the upcoming year at some of these events. We are proud to report that four of our branch members were hon­ored on Nov. 8 at a special Veterans Day service held at the First Hungar­ian Reformed Church of Homestead. The church bells were rung by Branch President John S. Toth Jr. to start the service. A special veter­ans story was then told by Mark S. Maskarinec, Branch Vice President and Treasurer for the church. Special floral arrangements were handed out by Chief Elder and Branch Coor­dinator Lisa S. Toth-Maskarinec. The members honored were: Sgt. E5 Billy Ardale (Vietnam), Fred Gabocy (World War II), P02 John Recktosh (Navy) and Cpl. Rudolph F. Phillips (Army). We are so proud of these individuals for making a sacrifice and serving our country. For the first time, we also remem­bered those veterans who are no longer with us. Branch 89 thanks not only these veterans, but all military personnel, both past and present, for their service to our country. God bless all of our veterans both liv­ing and deceased, and God bless America. Branch 89 continues to collect codes from Coke products. These codes will be turned into points which can then be redeemed for various merchandise and prizes to be used at our outings. So far, we have collected 4,500 points, and we'd like to collect 10,000 for next year's outing. This will then allow us to be able to give away higher valued merchandise for next to no cost for the branch. Thanks to all who have helped us. Anyone with any codes can email them to me at rnaskarinacl836@comcast.net or send them to 1836 Timothy Drive, West Mifflin, PA 15122. And to Mr. Lorenc, check your mail. Not only is the promised Pirate cap on its way, but we have also included a few additional Pirate items as a reward for your patience. We are also collecting Kellogg's Family Rewards Points. The codes are found inside boxes of Kellogg's, Keebler, Sunshine and Morning­­star Farms products featuring the Rewards Points insignia. Just cut out the code, mail it to us, and we'll do the rest. Please contact the branch coor­dinator if you'd like to see other activities, and we'll do our best to accommodate those requests. For any of your insurance needs, please continue to call Ruth Toth at 412- 872-5022. Branch 132 South Bend, IN by John E. Bums General Convention Delegates John E. Burus, Lindsey Burus and Susan Marshall would like to extend a very heartfelt "thank you" to all the National Officers, National Direc­tors, Home Office staff, our fellow Delegates and everyone else who planned, organized, worked at and participated in this eventful gather­ing.
