Branch News We would like to congratulate the Columbus team again on their first place finish at the WPA bowling tournament. Team members were Diane Walker, Chris Boso, Jimmy Lewis and Rick Lewis. We also had three juvenile bowlers participate this year. They were Dylan, Tyler and Brooklyn Boso. Congratulations to all the bowlers who participated to make this another fun event. After the bowling on Saturday, we had another great banquet at the hotel with delicious food and bever­ages. It was great seeing everyone again this year. A special thanks to Barbara House and all who worked hard to make this another great fraternal event. Don't forget the registration deadlines for those attending the Golf Tournament on July 15 and 16 is June 24, with early bird discount fees if submitted by June 3. Hotel reservation deadline is June 23. This is another fun-filled WPA activity. The Hungarian Reformed Church will be hosting another Soup & Learn Program after the 10:00 a.m. service on June 12. Soup will be served at 11:15 followed by a pro­gram at 11:40 entitled, "Life Stories of Local Hungarians." The speakers will be Mary Komives, whose par­ents helped to found the Hungarian Reformed Church in Columbus, and Tibor Nagy, who left Hungary in the 1980s after being persecuted by the Communist government for his Christian beliefs. Also, mark your calendars for the Taste of Hungary Festival to be held on Saturday, July 16, at the church. Our next branch meeting is sched­uled for Tuesday, June 7, at 4:30 p.m. It will be at the Hungarian Reformed Church at 365 Woodrow Ave. in Columbus. Please plan to attend. We congratulate all those cele­brating birthdays, anniversaries and additions to their families. Get well wishes to all who have been ill or hospitalized. Hope all have a speedy recovery. We extend our sympathy to all who have recently lost a loved one.

Burus Well, spring continues to tease us as the temperature keeps swinging up and down. We had a wild day on April 2 as it appeared we had all four seasons in one day after a couple of 80-degree days. The Branch 132 summer picnic will be held on Sunday, July 24, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at Potawatomi Park Pavilion #1 (Mishawaka Ave­nue in South Bend). We have already reserved the pavilion and have a permit for the event. The branch will provide water, soda, Martin's fried chicken, Eby's sausage, hot dogs, potato salad, plates, napkins and utensils. We ask that all who attend please bring a side dish or dessert to share. Also, please contact us to let us know how many guests will be joining you. This will allow us to plan how much chicken and sausage we will need. There is no cost to at­tend for members and their families. Branch 132 is again sponsoring the same men's softball team for 2016, and we hope they have a great run again. They were city champi­ons in 2013 and 2014 and finished second in 2015. Most games are played at Byers Softball Complex at St. Clair Park (formerly Belleville) on Mayflower Road near the US 31 Bypass. The team plays every Wednesday from now until July 6. The next Branch 132 quarterly meeting will be held on June 7 at 6:00 p.m. at the Martin's Supermar­ket deli (second floor) on Ireland Road. We would really like to have more members attend these meet­ings and get involved. Your ideas and thoughts for improving our gatherings are always welcome. Branch 226 McKeesport, PA by Judit Ganchuk Happy birthday to all our members celebrating in June. Also, happy wedding anniversary to all those celebrating this month. Get well wishes go to National Director Albert Frate, branch mem­ber Sally Petras and all those who are dealing with medical issues. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We're hoping for a nice Flag Day this June 14. Let us reflect on the symbolism of this great flag. God Bless America! For our Join Hands Day proj­ect, we plan to volunteer at the Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. Details are being finalized. This food bank helps children facing hunger, parents trying to provide for their families and seniors living on a fixed income. We'll be hosting our branch meetings every third Thursday at 10:00 a.m. at Malvene Heyz's home. Please call her at 412-751-1898 for directions. Our branch is making plans to reserve a bus for the annual WPA Picnic on Aug. 27 in Hiram, Ohio. Please call Malvene to reserve your spot so we can plan accordingly. Kudos to our young members who are doing fun extracurricular activities: • Member Rylee Heyz sang in her junior high's spring musical pro­duction of "Guys and Dolls." Way to go! • Member Shelby Harris and her HotCheer Allstars cheerleading team traveled to Disneyworld in Florida and earned seventh place in the world for their level. Best wishes to my sister and WPA Branch 14 member Noémi Hall, who was published again in a peer-reviewed scientific journal as a co-author and is now officially Dr. Hall. Congrats on your hard work in earning a doctorate in epidemiology from Case Western Reserve Univer­sity. Congrats to all our Association's high school grads: kudos to you for your hard work. Member RJ Harris was invited to a letter of intent day event at his high school where the high school recognized 10 of the finest student­­athletes who will become collegiate student-athletes in the fall. Con­gratulations and best wishes to RJ who will play baseball for Wheeling Jesuit University. RJ is vice president of the National Honor Society chap­ter at his school, has earned gold cords for his graduation day, and William Penn Life ° June 2016 ° 27
