Branch News Congratulations to Branch 89 members Katie and Matt Beveridge. Katie graduated May 3 from James Madison University with a bachelor's degree in marketing, while Matt graduated from Oakdale High School in Ijamsville, Md. out and about, be sure to watch out for those little tykes who might forget to look where they're going when crossing the street or chasing a ball. The WPA bowling tournament and banquet were very entertaining. Watching the bowlers compete and talking with other WPA spectatorsmembers was enjoyable, too. Then it was topped-off with a delicious buffet in the early afternoon. There were so many good bowlers in attendance, and the Lewis team took top honors. Congratulations to everyone who bowled! The non-stop action was impressive! But, our day wasn't over, yet. Our daughter, Emily, who lives in Pittsburgh, found a new Hungarian restaurant on the city's North Side. Huszár Legacy Bar and Restaurant is not open for full-restaurant fare yet, but they promise they will be soon. The owner, Judy Torma, is attempting to locate a Hungarian chef to operate the kitchen. At this time, Huszár's is open only for special events. On April 30 it hosted a bacon roast. I was skeptical about how an open fire pit for a traditional szalonna was going to be accomplished in the densely populated city. There were three fire pits in a side-yard of the tavern, and over 200 people attended. Everyone had a chance to sit, talk, drink and roast their bacon throughout the afternoon. I talked to several customers who were from Hungary or of Hungarian descent and were familiar with the tradition. Others were game to try a new experience. I was pleased to see the large number of college students who were there. It was a pleasant evening of fun and conversation... then the rain started about 6:30. But even that didn't dampen the spirits of those who were still roasting their bacon at the fire. Don't forget to register for the WPA golf tournament this July 15 and 16 at Quicksilver Golf Club in Midway, Pa. Friday night is the reception, fun activities and a Chinese auction. Saturday, the tournament (scramble-style) begins, followed by a delicious barbeque. Check for the registration form contained in this magazine. Before you know it, Independence Day will be upon us and time for fireworks, festivals and more barbeques with friends and family! I don't want to forget to wish all fathers a very happy Father's Day! I want to applaud all the men out there who work diligently to be good fathers. No matter whether you are stepfathers, biological fathers, spiritual fathers or fatherfigures, enjoy your day. We also wish a happy birthday and anniversary to those members with birthdays and anniversaries this month. For our members and friends who are sick, we pray for your recovery. Among those we include in our prayers is National Director Albert Frate. To those who may have recently lost loved ones, our sympathies go out to you. For information about branch activities, please call Joyce Nicholson at 740-264-6238. Branch 89 Homestead, PA by Mark S. Maskarinec Alright, it's almost here: sun and more sun, and the temperature is getting warmer. Could it be? Could winter finally be gone? Branch 89 congratulates two of our very own members, Katie and Matt Beveridge, on graduation from college and high school, respectively. Katie will work for ADP in sales at their Rockville, Md., office. She graduated on May 3 with a bachelor of business administration degree in marketing from James Madison University. She was president of the Madison Marketing Association for the past two years and received the Marketing Faculty Award for Excellence in her major. Matt will attend MIT in Cambridge, Mass. He hopes to study aerospace or electrical engineering and was a recipient of the National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete Award and the Northrop Grumman Engineering Scholars program. Katie and Matt are the children of branch member Christine Beveridge and her husband Bruce and the grandchildren of branch members Ruth and the late Elmer Hlavaty. We wish both Katie and Matt much luck on their future endeavors. Get well wishes continue to go to branch members Fred Gabocy, Patricia Walochik, Devon Wittpenn and Dianne Schneider. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery for all. As this article was being written, we were eagerly anticipating our branch's first "Monthly Dine Out Dinner" to be held at Lidia's in the Strip District on Saturday, May 14, at 6:30 p.m. Next month's dinner is to be decided. It's my big 6-0 on June 9. Any suggestions where we can celebrate it? William Penn Life 0 June 2016 0 25
