House Remember to honor our Veterans, past and present on Memorial Day. Say a prayer, or say "thank you." We at Branch 18 have been busily preparing for all the wonderful events WPA has to offer. Branch 18 will be supporting most of these events, and we hope you will, too. We also are planning all our local events, and there sure are a lot. Our branch meetings started on April 12. Our next meeting will be on May 11. We meet at the Hungarian Cultural Center on Goddard Road in Taylor at 7:00 p.m. Don't forget your animal donations. The shelter takes anything: food, litter, towels, rugs—yes, anything to make the animals happy. Hope to see you there. Our Join Hands Day event has been changed to Saturday, May 28. We will meet at 10:00 a.m. at the Hungarian Cultural Center. A group will go to Paragon, a school for citizens with special needs. We will end at St. Michael's Church on Champaign in Lincoln Park. After the planting, lunch will be provided. We should be done about noon. Remember, many hands make much easier work. Please come and help. Congratulations to the new Board at the Hungarian Cultural Center. We are so proud of you. We are looking forward to all the wonderful events you have planned. WPA will support you all we can. I am writing this before our annual bowling tournament, but I will tell you all about it next month. Hope you were there. Happy birthday to some very special people: Judy Chakey; my wonderful assistant Judit Ganchuk; Elsie Kantor; Tamas Markovits, our Branch 18 auditor and good friend; and our wonderful friend, Father Barnabas from Holy Cross Hungarian Catholic Church. We wish you all a super birthday. We are planning a bus trip to the WPA Picnic in Hiram, Ohio, Aug. 27. It is a much closer venue for us, so we will go early in the morning and get home by 9:00 p.m. I will let you know the cost as soon as possible. We are also planning a Soaring Eagle/Firekeepers trip on Nov. 1 and 2.1 will have more details about this trip soon. The WPA golf tournament is scheduled for July 15 and 16. You have time to get your teams together and make your hotel reservations. We are planning a barbeque dinner after the golfing. We send get well wishes to Lee Kosaski, Michelle Pokomy, George Schvarckopf, Doug Truesdell and National Director Albert Frate. We hope you are all better real soon. Remember our deceased members and their families in your prayers, especially: Ethel Weidig, Elizabeth Süveg, Irene Angel, Mike Adorján, Julius Papp, Anna Bodnar, Steve Zeleji and Genevieve Bacsó. May they rest in peace. I have some special people that I have to thank: • Dora McKinsey and Judit Ganchuk, whose help and expertise I could never do without. • Joyce Nicholson, for her thoughtful gift and guitar donation. Would you believe this year's guitar is from Blake Shelton? We will sell tickets for it at the WPA Picnic. • Kathy and Les Megyeri, for all the thoughtful things they do. • Last, but not least, my fellow Branch 18 members who pitch in so I can do other events for WPA. I am truly blessed with good friends. Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mothers we have. We wish you all a special day. My mother will be 94 this year and is still going strong. Mom recently moved to Tupelo, Miss., and I thank my brother Joe Gall for the super job he is doing taking care of her. We love you, Mom. My wish for you this month is that you smile more and stress less. You have so much to share. You are someone's inspiration and motivation. Hope outshines doubt 100 percent of the time. TTie world is still wonderful, and so are you. Please feel free to call me anytime at 313-418-5572 or 734-782-4467. You may also call Judit Ganchuk at 1-800-848-7366, Ext. 149, with your questions about our fraternal activities. We speak to one another daily. Enjoy this wonderful spring. See you soon.
