Burus I wrote last time that we could really use some rain as it was so dry. Well, wouldn't you know it, we now have had more rain than anybody wanted. We received about eight inches in a 24-hour period. I guess that rain dance was a little too good by any standard. The next branch get-together will be the Christmas party on Dec. 4 at 3:00 p.m. It will be held once again at the South Bend Barnaby's Pizza on Jefferson Avenue. Please RSVP your headcounts for adults and children attending as we always try to provide a Christmas gift for each child who attends. We also try to reserve seating, as they always get very busy. Please contact Janos P. Burus at 574-287-0590 or John E. Burus at john.e.burus@honeywell. com. As in years past, the branch will provide all the pizza and soft drinks. The next Branch 132 business meeting will be held on Dec. 6 at the Martin's Supermarket Deli (second floor) on Ireland Road at 6:00 p.m. Branch 226 McKeesport, PA by Judit Ganchuk Happy birthday wishes to all our members celebrating their special day in October. Also, happy wedding anniversary to all those celebrating this month. Keep our military, here and abroad, in your thoughts and prayers. I want to welcome all of the new Branch 226 members, including my son, László. My husband and I are thrilled with our healthy, bouncing baby boy, and we are grateful for all of the good wishes we have received from members and friends. Our William Penn Association Magyar Folk Dancers enjoyed attending and performing at the annual WPA Picnic in Hiram, Ohio. The dancers' scheduled performances at both Pittsburgh's E.Q.T. Children's Theater Festival and McKeesport's International Village festival were rained out. While they were disappointed, the dancers are a resilient bunch who look forward to the 2017 performance season with new songs and dances. The Free Hungarian Reformed Church in McKeesport is hosting its annual Autumn Luncheon Bingo on Saturday, Oct. 22. Doors open at 11:30 a.m. and tickets are only $25. Call the church at 412-672-7298 for tickets. Tickets will also be sold at the door. Proceeds benefit the church. The October branch meeting will be held Thursday, Oct. 20, at 10:00 a.m. at Branch President Malvene Heyz's home. Please call 412-751- 1898 for directions.

Lastly, remember those who fought for freedom from oppression against the Soviet Communists during the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Revolution, and WPA is one of the major sponsors helping commemorate the events of 1956 with the "Spirit of Hungary tour." This tour features the renowned Hungarian National Dance Ensemble and will stop in many American cities. For more information, see page 8. Branch 249 Dayton, OH by Mark Schmidt The WPA Picnic at the Hungarian Cultural Center of Northeastern Ohio in Hiram was a great time and success. Hundreds of people interested in all things Magyar enjoyed a beautiful day filled with food, music, and arts and crafts. And, boy, what great hosts the members of the HCCNEO were to William Penn Association. The grounds are maintained beautifully. WILLIAM PENN LIFE 0 October 2016 0 27
