Hope everyone has a great 4th of July and is practicing their golf swing. We have great fraternal events coming up, and if you haven't attended any in the past, you are missing out on some really wonderful experiences. Come join us and see. Please take a moment and pray for all our service men and women, especially those in harm's way. We attended the Memorial Day service at Calvary Cemetery, and I am proud that my husband was part of the Honor Guard. On May 23 and 24, Chair of the Board Andy McNelis, National Director Jim Robertson and National Vice President-Secretary Jerry Hauser traveled to Harrisburg to attend the Pennsylvania Fraternal Alliance meeting and legislative luncheon. While in Harrisburg, we had an enjoyable evening at the Verhovay Home, visiting with friends. The next day at the Capitol, we rubbed elbows with state legislators at the luncheon. Our thoughts are with you, Albert and Al. Happy and healthy birthday wishes to everyone celebrating a birthday in July, especially our son Andy, grandson Donovan and Barbara. Wishing you all many more.

Branch 40 Martins Ferry, OH Branch 349 Weirton, WV by Joyce Nicholson Hello from the WPA branches in Martins Ferry, Ohio, and Weirton W.Va.. We had great weather on May 29 for a picnic hosted by our WPA branches and the Ohio Valley Hungarian-American Cultural Society at Warren Township Park in Yorkville, Ohio. There were a number of "newbies" trying out the bacon roast. It was a fun crowd, and we enjoyed the good fellowship and food all afternoon. We could hear and see the brood of 17-year cicadas that also attended the picnic. (We didn't invite them!) They didn't bother us much, but they sure took a liking to Joe Skocik's red socks. The next joint picnic at Warren Township Park will be held Sunday, Aug. 29. The 33rd Annual WPA Golf Tournament & Scholarship Days will be held at Quicksilver Golf Club on July 15 and 16. It's a beautiful course, and my husband, Harry, is looking forward to playing it this year. I don't golf, but I can drive a mean golf cart. And, I'm real good at checking out the prize baskets available at the Chinese auction. Other upcoming events on the WPA's summer calendar include the Hungarian Heritage Experience July 31 to Aug. 6. For more information, see the inside of the front cover. That will be followed by the WPA Picnic on Aug. 27. The picnic promises a fun time at a new location: the Hungarian Cultural Center of Northeastern Ohio in Hiram, Ohio. It's an easy drive from our area. So, attend the picnic; it'll be great! Congratulations to all graduates. We also extend best wishes to all members celebrating birthdays and anniversaries. Please keep in your thoughts and prayers those who are sick or who recently lost a loved one.
